To “observe” is essentially taking energy away. a particle doesn’t know it’s being observed, but taking energy away settles the particle in an energy state. But that’s not the five year old explaintion.

For the five year old, kinda like Red Light/Green Light. If something is moving too fast we can’t see it. To see it it needs to slow down.
