First Ideas about the Heart and Lungs. What do we know? (or think we know?)

We have begun to look at how the body works, how the muscles are fueled and how we can get our body working as well as possible. The Science behind how the body works is simply fascinating. We wondered if the body is a machine, with about half of us thinking it is and the other disagreeing. We discussed the amazing Leonardo di Vinci, how he made some of the early discoveries about how the body works. We are beginning to ask our own questions about this amazing subject.

How do the lungs work? Can we become make our brains work better by breathing well? What is heart disease? How can we make our body's work as well as possible. Over the next couple of weeks we will be doing research to explore these questions.
