Welcome to the world of CSS! You've learned how HTML creates the structure of web pages. But have you noticed how plain HTML looks?

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is what makes websites beautiful. It adds colors, fonts, spacing, and visual design to your HTML structure.

Think of HTML as the house frame and CSS as the paint, furniture, and decorations.

In one sentence, describe the difference between HTML and CSS.

Here's the key relationship: HTML provides the content and structure, while CSS provides the visual appearance.

Without CSS, every website would look like a basic text document with default fonts and no colors or styling.

In one word, how would you feel if every website looked identical?

CSS can transform boring HTML into stunning designs. It controls colors, fonts, sizes, spacing, backgrounds, and even animations!

For example, CSS can make text red, buttons round, or create colorful backgrounds. It's like having a magic paintbrush for web pages.

What's one visual element you'd want to change on a plain HTML page?

The "Cascading" in CSS means styles flow down from parent elements to their children, like water cascading down a waterfall.

If you make a paragraph blue, any text inside that paragraph will also be blue unless you specify otherwise.

This helps you apply consistent styling efficiently. What happens to child elements when you style their parent?

"Style Sheets" simply means CSS is a collection of styling rules organized in a document or file.

These rules tell the browser: "Make all headings blue" or "Make buttons have rounded corners."

Think of it as an instruction manual for how your webpage should look. Name one styling rule you might include in a style sheet.
