What Crafty Clover says in this video

Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. Why does your body send warning signs, like dizziness, when it gets too hot?

The Big Idea

Your body sends warning signs like dizziness when it gets too hot because it is asking for help. Your body works hard to stay at the right temperature. If it cannot cool down enough, it sends signals so you will take a break.

Cooling System

Step one: your cooling system. When you get hot, you sweat, and the sweat cools your skin as it dries. Your body works hard to keep a safe temperature.

Warning Signs

Step two: warning signs. Too much heat can make you dizzy, headachy, very tired, or sick to your stomach. These signs tell you that your body needs a break.

Cool Down

Step three: cool down. Move to shade or a cool place, sip water, and tell a grown-up right away. Do not wait until you feel worse.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look at heat safety! If you feel dizzy or very tired, stop. Move to shade or a cool place. Sip some water slowly. And tell a grown-up right away.

Quick Facts

Quick facts! Heat illness can happen faster on hot, humid days. Never stay in a parked car, because it heats up fast. Light clothes, hats, and shade breaks help keep you cool. If someone looks very hot and confused, get a grown-up and call 911.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist! With a grown-up, list the warning signs of heat illness. Plan shade and water breaks for hot days. Then share your plan with friends!
