Monday: Meet your lungs

Rocket blows on a pinwheel. It spins fast!

"Where does all that air come from?" he asks.

Raven asks, "What do you notice?"

Nova says, "Look inside your chest."

Two lungs

You have two lungs.

They sit in your chest.

Lungs are soft and spongy.

When you breathe in, air goes into your lungs.

When you breathe out, air comes back out.

A safe cage

Your ribs make a cage around your chest.

The rib cage helps protect your lungs.

Your heart is in there too.

Lungs and heart are neighbors!
