What Crafty Clover says in this video

Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. Why should you sip water often on a hot day instead of waiting until you are very thirsty?

The Big Idea

Sip water often on a hot day instead of waiting until you are very thirsty! Your body is mostly water, and it uses water to cool you down when you sweat. If you wait until you feel parched, you may already be low on water.

Water Cools You

Step one: water cools you. When you get hot, your body sweats. As sweat dries, it carries heat away from your skin.

Sip Often

Step two: sip often. Small, regular sips help you feel good. Do not wait until you feel parched, because your body may already be low on water.

Rest and Tell

Step three: rest and tell. Shade breaks and rest help you cool down too. If you feel dizzy, headachy, or very tired in the heat, tell a grown-up right away.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look! First, sip water often. Second, take breaks in the shade. Third, wear a hat. And always tell a grown-up if you feel unwell. That is how to stay safe in the heat.

Quick Facts

Quick facts! Your body is made of mostly water. Plain water is usually the best drink for hot play. Shade and rest help your body cool down. Tell a grown-up right away if you feel dizzy or very tired.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist! Plan a hot-day kit for a family trip. Include a water bottle, a hat, sunscreen, and a shady rest spot. Show it to a grown-up. Ask whether they would add anything.
