What is Negative feedback loops can be disrupted?

Negative feedback loops can be disrupted when something goes wrong and stops them from working properly.

Think of a thermostat, it’s like a little brain that keeps your house at just the right temperature. When it gets too hot, it turns on the air conditioner; when it gets too cold, it turns on the heater. That's a negative feedback loop: it helps keep things balanced.

Imagine you're playing with a seesaw in the park. You sit on one side, and your friend sits on the other. The seesaw goes up and down, that’s balance. But if your friend suddenly jumps off, the seesaw tips all the way to your side. That's like a disrupted feedback loop.

Something similar happens with the thermostat: if it breaks or gets covered in dust, it might not notice when it's too hot or too cold. Then your house could get really uncomfortable, maybe even too warm for ice cream time!
