What is vertical?

What is vertical? It’s when something goes up and down, like a ladder.

Imagine you're standing on the floor, and you climb up a ladder, that's going vertical! You’re moving straight up, not sideways or around in circles. Like when you stack blocks one on top of another, each block is higher than the last. That’s vertical stacking.

Think about a tower. Each floor goes up from the ground, that's vertical movement. If you're standing at the bottom and look all the way to the top, it's like you're looking straight up. That line from bottom to top is vertical.

Or think of a tree growing out of the ground. The trunk goes up, right? That’s vertical too. If you draw a straight line from the roots all the way to the tip of the branches, that's a vertical line.

So, whenever something moves or stands in an up-down direction, like a ladder, a tower, or a tree, it's going vertical!
