Thursday: Why we need air

Rocket asks, "Why do we breathe all the time?"

Raven asks, "What do you notice about breathing?"

Nova says, "Remember the blood delivery helper."

Oxygen in

Air has oxygen in it.

People need oxygen to live.

In your lungs, oxygen moves into your blood.

Then your heart pumps the blood all around.

Blood delivers oxygen to every part of you.

Waste gas out

Your body makes a waste gas.

It is called carbon dioxide.

Blood brings it back to your lungs.

You breathe it out!

Lungs and heart work as a team.
