What is collide?

"Collide is when two things bump into each other and make a change."

Imagine you're playing with blocks on the floor. You push one block toward another block. Boom! They meet, that's collide. The first block might stop, or it might knock the second block over, just like when you crash your toy car into another toy car.

When two things collide, they both feel the push from each other. It’s like when you and your friend jump on a trampoline at the same time, you both go up, but you also both bump into each other in the middle.

Sometimes, after a collide, one thing might move faster or slower. Like if you throw a small ball at a big ball, the small one might bounce back, while the big one just rolls a little.

Collide is all around us: when cars crash, when people bump into each other in a crowd, even when you drop your cup and it hits the floor. It’s like a bump party for things!
