What is interaction?

Interaction is when two things influence each other in a fun way.

Imagine you have a toy car and a ramp. When you push the car up the ramp, it goes down on the other side, that’s interaction! The ramp helps the car move, and the car moves because of the ramp.

Think about stacking blocks. If you put one block on top of another, the bottom block feels a little pressure from the top one. That means they're interacting, the top block pushes down, and the bottom one holds it up.

Now imagine if you took away the bottom block, poof! The top one falls. That’s how interaction works in real life: things affect each other when they’re close or connected.

You and your friend are playing tug-of-war. You pull the rope, and your friend pulls back. Both of you are interacting, you're both trying to move the rope towards your side. The more you both pull, the stronger the interaction!

So, interaction is like a game between two things, they each do something that affects the other. It’s everywhere: in toy cars, blocks, and even when you play with friends!
