Monday

Meet your heart
// A pump that never stops
⏱ about 15 min

Monday: Meet your heart

Rocket builds a pump from a squeezy bottle.

"Squeeze, squeeze! It never stops," he says.

Raven asks, "What do you notice?"

Nova says, "You have a pump inside you."

Your heart is a pump

Your heart is a muscle.

It sits in your chest.

It is a little to the left of the middle.

Your heart is about the size of your fist.

It pumps blood all around your body.

Squeeze and relax

Make a fist and squeeze it tight.

Your heart squeezes a bit like that.

The squeeze pushes blood out.

Then your heart relaxes and fills again.

It does this all day and all night.

It started pumping before you were born!
