Diagrams are pictures that show how things work. They can be used to explain things that are difficult to understand or to show how something is put together.
For example, a diagram of a car engine can show how the different parts work together to make the car move. A diagram of a plant cell can show the different parts of the cell and how they work together.
Diagrams can be very helpful for learning about science. They can help us to understand complex concepts and to see how things work in real life.
The diagram showed the different parts of the engine.
