Publisher's Description of Using Your Heart (Investigate the Human Body)
How many times does your heart beat per minute? That depends on what you
are doing. This informative book about the heart shows how blood pumps
throughout the body. It explores the work of the atria and ventricles as
they pump throughout the chambers and valves, bringing oxygen to the
body's system. Colorful photographs and diagrams help make the concepts
clear for readers, while a final activity encourages them to put their
new knowledge to use as an authentic learning exercise.
Each volume in this set explores one important aspect of the
human body. With beautiful color photographs and diagrams, readers learn
fascinating facts about each organ or system, how it works, and its purpose in
the body. Fact boxes introduce extra information, Key Terms are clearly
explained, and Learn More sections provide resources for further study. A few
activities are sprinkled throughout each book to help kids engage with the
topics in a hands-on way. Supports Next Gen Science standards.
