Why do hearts beat?
Why do hearts beat?
With every beat of your heart blood is pumped through tiny tubes. The blood goes around the body so you can move. The blood is pumped with oxygen. The blood goes through tiny tubes called veins. They are connected to every part of your body.
While you're running, you need more oxygen. As you run, your heart beats faster and faster so that it can circulate to the muscles. This is why you can feel your body heating up and pulse getting faster and faster.
Our blood has four main components. They are red blood cells, white blood cells, liquid and plasma. There also cells called neutrophil, eosinophil, monocyte, lymphocyte, basophils and platelets.
When your heart beats, your blood gets pushed through tubes in your body. These tubes are connected to smaller tubes. They go every part of your body. This is called the circulatory system.
Your heart powers your whole body and that is what makes you move.

Do you know how we hear sounds?
WALT use the correct structure. I wrote a explanation writing about hearing sound.
Why do we hear sounds?
Sound waves is just air that is shaking.
Sound waves are collected by the outer ear. Your eardrum shiver when the sound waves are collected into your ear. This happens because it’s just vibrations in the air.
When your eardrum shakes parts of your ear moves as well.The parts are called anvil,hammer and stirrup. When the anvil, hammer and stirrup starts to wriggle and wobbly the watery liquids in your ear becomes unsteady and shakes.
When liquids move, the nerves send messages to your brain. Your brain gets the messages and assists us to figure out what the sound is.
