What is a convolution in signals and systems?
Please, I just need a basic, fifth grade explanation as to what the convolution of two signals is. I have no idea, everywhere I look just gives me a complicated explanation, but I don't know what it is

reverse the signal in time and then multiply by the other signal. Integrate the product.

"Convolution" has a variety of meanings in signal processing. Some of them are very complex and totally unsuited to study at 5th grade level.
You will have a better chance of getting a useful answer if you give some sort of clue regarding the area of study that you are following
e.g. as an "update" to your question, or by posting a new question that includes greater detail of the specific:
course / subject / unit / topic (or whatever it is)
that you are studying.
