Water Strider

For this experiment you will need: 
Thin wire, scissors, a paper plate, water (colored if wish)

1. You have to cut three pieces of thin wire, then you twist them so it looks like a bug.
2. You grab the paper plate then you put the water in it. 
3. Make sure the legs of the bug are in a U shape
4. Put the bug in the water and see if it floats or sinks!

This is a fun experiment that you can do at home, at a friends house or maybe at your birthday party.

what happens inside your body?

Regular physical activity can lower your risk of heart, and circulatory disease by 35%. When you are active, the heart produced by your muscles increases your body temperature ,making you feel warmer.Your heart starts to beat faster, pumping more blood to the muscles you are using. Your heart is also a muscle. If you are active regularly it gets bigger and stronger. Your muscles are working harder so they need more oxygen. You start to breath faster so your blood can pick up more oxygen from your lungs. Your lungs work harder to make this happen. Once your blood has picked up oxygen, it moves to the muscles you are using by giving them the extra oxygen they need.
