How It Works
What’s Inside the Air?
Air is like a special mix of invisible ingredients. The most important one is oxygen, it's what helps your body make energy so you can run, jump, laugh, and play all day long. Think of oxygen like the fuel in your toy car, without it, your car wouldn’t move.
When you take that air into your lungs, your body uses the oxygen from it to help your blood carry energy to every part of your body. That’s why after you breathe in, you feel ready to do more things!
Examples
- A child takes a deep breath before running around the playground.
- You inhale air through your nose while sleeping.
