Which activates what?

"Which activates what? means one thing starts another happening, like a button starts a toy."

Imagine you have a toy car. When you press the button, the car starts moving. That’s which activates what: the button is what activates the car moving.

Like a Light Switch

Think of it like turning on a light. You flip the switch, and the light turns on. The switch is what activates the light. Just like pressing a button starts a toy, flipping a switch starts a light.

A Simple Chain

Sometimes, one thing activates another, which then activates something else, like a chain! If you pull a string, it might make a bell ring, and that bell ringing could start another machine going. Each step is activated by the one before it.

So next time you press a button or flip a switch, remember: you're doing which activates what!"Which activates what? means one thing starts another happening, like a button starts a toy."
