What is strongest?

What is strongest? means what can push, pull, or hold on to other things the most.

Imagine you're playing with blocks. If you try to knock them over, some are easy, like a tower of soft pillows. Others are hard, like a tall stack of bricks. The strongest block tower is the one that doesn’t fall no matter how much you push or shake it.

Now think about your favorite toy, maybe a big teddy bear or a strong robot. If something is strong, it can stand up to bigger pushes, pulls, or even heavy weights. Like when you sit on a chair, and it doesn’t break, that’s because the chair is strong enough to hold you.

Sometimes, things get really strong by working together. Like how your legs help you jump high, or how bricks stick together to make a tall wall. The more parts helping out, the stronger they can be.

So when we ask what is strongest, it's like asking who can win a tug-of-war, and it all depends on how much push or pull each side has!
