Thursday: Parts work together

Raven tosses a soft ball to Rocket.

Rocket rushes and misses. He laughs.

Raven asks, "What do you notice when we catch?"

Nova says, "Watch the ball first."

One big team

Body parts do not work alone.

They work together like a team.

Your eyes see a ball coming.

Your eyes send a message to your brain.

Your brain sends a message to your muscles.

Your muscles move your arms and hands.

You catch the ball!

Missing is learning

Rocket missed the ball. That is okay!

Each try helps your body learn.

Scientists try again and again.
