Effect is what happens because of something else, it’s like when you push a toy car and it moves.
What Makes an Effect
Imagine you have a bouncy ball. When you drop it on the floor, it plops and then bounces back up. That bounce is the effect, it happens because of the cause, which is you dropping the ball.
Now think about a swing. When you push someone on a swing, they go higher and higher. The effect here is them going high, the cause is your push.
Effects Can Be Big or Small
Sometimes effects are easy to see, like when you turn on a light and it gets bright. Other times, they’re more subtle, like how a plant grows taller because it gets sunlight every day.
So, effect is just what happens after something else, the result of a cause. It’s like the fun part of a game, the thing you see or feel because someone (or something) did something first! Effect is what happens because of something else, it’s like when you push a toy car and it moves.
