Fascinating Fact:

Strong muscles protect joints, so lifting, climbing, and hanging on bars (safely) help your body stay sturdy.

In KS1 Science, children learn that exercise keeps the body fit and healthy. Running, jumping, climbing, and dancing strengthen muscles, protect joints, and support a strong heart, lungs, and bones.

Exercise: Any movement that makes your body work harder, like running, skipping, or playing football.
Muscles: Parts of your body that help you move, lift, push, pull, and stay strong.
Heart: A muscle that pumps blood around your body and works better when you are active.
