Racing Hearts and Body Systems in Action!

(11/19): Sixth grade science class turned into a mini biology lab and a mini gym as students began learning about how their body systems work together. They got their hearts racing—literally—by running in place and then checking their pulses. The challenge? To figure out which body systems were teaming up during the activity.
From their cardiovascular system pumping blood, to their respiratory system gulping air, to their muscular system powering every jump and step, students pieced together the amazing interconnectedness of their bodies.
Encourage your young scientist to explain what happens to their body when they exercise. Just be warned: you might be asked to check your own pulse!
