What is composed?

"What is composed?" means what something is made of, just like a toy box is made of blocks and little cars.

Imagine you have a big LEGO castle, it looks fancy, but if you take it apart, you’ll see it's just made of small bricks. Each brick is simple on its own, but when they join together, they create something amazing.

Like a Sandwich

A sandwich is like that too! It’s composed of bread, cheese, and maybe some ham or veggies. You can eat it all at once, but if you take it apart, you’ll see the layers, just like LEGO bricks.

Building Blocks of Everything

Even things that aren’t toys or food are made of smaller parts. A tree is composed of roots, trunk, branches, and leaves. Each part does its job so the whole tree can grow and stay strong.

So when we ask "what is composed?" we're really asking: What are the little pieces that make up something bigger?
