Form, fit and function
Form, fit, and function are three important things that help us understand and describe objects or things. Let's imagine we have a toy car to explain these concepts.
1. Form: The form is all about how the toy car looks. It includes the shape, color, and design of the car. So, imagine your toy car is red, has four wheels, and is in the shape of a small sports car. That's the form of your toy car!
2. Fit: Fit describes how the different parts of the toy car come together and fit perfectly. It's like when you are building a puzzle, and all the pieces have to fit just right to make the picture complete. In the case of your toy car, the wheels must fit securely on the car's body and spin freely. The windows and doors must also fit well and not fall off. If everything fits nicely, you can play with your car without worrying about it breaking apart.
3. Function: The function of the toy car is what it can do or how it works. The primary function of your toy car is to drive around and pretend you are a race car driver. It might have a pull-back mechanism that lets you pull it back and release it to zoom forward. It might also have buttons that make sounds or lights flash. All these things are part of the car's function.
In summary, form refers to how something looks, fit talks about how its different parts come together, and function describes what it can do or how it works. So, when you look at your toy car, notice its form (shape, color, design), check how its parts fit together (wheels, doors, windows), and have fun playing with its function (driving, making sounds).
