About this listen
But… have you ever wondered what a real heart actually looks like—and what it really does? In this episode of What’s Happening Inside Me?, Audra is joined by Sloane and new co-host Ransom to talk all about the human heart. Together, they discover that real hearts don’t look like Valentine’s candy hearts at all—and that the heart is actually a pretty amazing double-pump machine! Using fun comparisons like stomp rockets and Hot Wheels tracks, kids learn how the heart pumps blood all around the body and why it has a right side and a left side that don’t mix. This episode focuses on big ideas made simple—perfect for curious kids and the grown-ups learning alongside them.
🫀 In This Episode, Kids Will Learn:
- What the heart really looks like (spoiler: it’s not Valentine-shaped!)
- What the heart’s main job is
- How the heart pumps blood all over the body
- Why the heart is like two pumps stuck together
- What “right heart” and “left heart” actually mean
- How blood travels in two separate tracks through the body
- This episode builds on ideas from Episodes 9 and 10 about blood vessels
- Listening to those episodes first can make this one even easier to understand (and you’ll get to hear the catchy vascular system song again!)
