Tuesday: My nose is a helper

Rocket sweeps the floor fast. Dust flies up. Achoo!

Raven giggles. "What do you notice?"

Nova blinks. "Your nose just did a job. Which one?"

Your nose cleans the air

Your nose does more than smell.

It warms the air you breathe in.

It makes the air a little wet.

It cleans the air before it goes to your lungs.

Nose helpers

Little hairs inside your nose trap dirt and pollen.

Your nose also makes sticky mucus.

Mucus catches dust and germs.

Sometimes something tickles inside, and you sneeze!

A sneeze sends the dust back out.
