How does a water heater work?
"A water heater stores water in a tank and heats the water with a flame at the bottom. The hot water rises to the top of the tank, while the colder water falls to the bottom near the heat source." A water heater is simply a tank of water with a heat source at the bottom. It can be set to a certain temperature and is dispersed throughout the home through the water infrastructure.

Why does the water temp change in the shower when you flush a toilet?
The water temp in the shower is determined by the mix of hot and cold water that runs thru the showerhead at any given moment. When we wish to raise the water temp- we simply limit the flow of cold water, thereby slightly changing this mix. When we flush the toilet, its water tank immediately (and automatically) start to refill. Refilling obviously takes (cold) water straight from our home plumbing. If our plumbing consists of narrow pipes (or if its partly clotted), the water which is drawn by the toilet refill process runs at the expense of other water consumers - such as the shower. This, in turn, practically limits the amount of cold water thar runs to the showerhead, hence changing its temp.
