Did you know that your heart is located in your chest?

What is a heart?
A heart is one of the most important part of your body. Your heart is located in your chest. It pumps blood around our body through blood vessels.

Why do hearts beat?
Our hearts beat because it helps us to breath and keeps us alive.The beating sounds that you can hear or feel are from valves in your heart as they open and close to pump blood in and out.

If you are excising or performing an activity, your heart will normally beat fast.

Learning intention: We are learning to write an explanation.
Success criteria: I know I can do this when I follow the correct structure of an explanation, starting with an introduction, followed by an explanation sequence and a concluding sentence about why hearts beat.
