// One body, one great team
⏱ about 15 min

Wednesday: The inside workers

Rocket runs a lap. His heart thumps fast.

Raven asks, "What do you notice inside?"

Nova hints, "Three workers help you run."

Heart, lungs and tummy

Your lungs bring air into your body.

Air has oxygen, and your body needs it.

You breathe out a gas your body does not need.

Your heart pumps blood all day and all night.

Blood carries oxygen and food bits everywhere.

Your stomach mashes food into soupy bits.

They work together

Lungs bring in oxygen.

Food gives the good food bits.

The heart pumps blood to share them.

When you ride a bike, your brain helps.

It tells your heart to pump more blood.
