What is Conversion?

Conversion is when something changes from one form to another, just like how a cookie can turn into milk and cookies.

What Conversion Feels Like

Imagine you have 10 stickers, and you want to share them with your friend. If you give 5 stickers to your friend, now you each have 5 stickers, that’s a kind of conversion. You started with 10, and now you both have 5. It's like splitting something into parts so it becomes easier to use or share.

Conversion in Action

Think about a juice box. When you open it, the juice goes from being inside the box to being outside, in your hands, that’s also conversion! The juice didn’t disappear; it just changed where it was and how it looked.

Conversion is all around us: when we turn on lights (electricity to light), or when we count our toys (from 10 to 5). It's like a little switch that helps things change in a simple, friendly way.
