In this first lesson, students are introduced to the incredible power of the human heart!
Through interactive discussions, visual demonstrations, and light physical activities, students learn:
What the heart is and why it’s important
How the heart and lungs work together to move oxygen through the body
How exercise keeps our hearts strong and healthy
This lesson combines education and movement — including simple classroom-friendly activities like jumping jacks and pulse checks — to help students see, feel, and understand how their heart works.
By the end of the lesson, they’ll be able to identify basic heart functions and understand why heart health matters from a young age.
