How do you move or act?

You move or act by using your body parts and brain power, just like a toy car uses wheels and batteries.

Your body has many parts that help you do things, like walking, running, jumping, or even smiling. Think of your legs as the wheels on a toy car: when they move, you go forward. Your arms are like the handles you push to make the car go faster. And your brain is like the remote control that tells your body what to do.

Your brain sends messages through special wires called nerves, like a telephone line. When you see a ball coming toward you, your eyes send a message to your brain, and your brain says, “Catch it!” Then the nerves carry that message down to your hands, telling them to move quickly.

So every time you move or act, whether you’re running after a friend or drawing a picture, your body parts are working together with your brain, just like a toy car with wheels and batteries.
