Other editions of book What Happens When I Move?

We can run along the street while waving to a friend, or dribble and shoot a basketball without even thinking about where to position our hands. All day, every day, our bodies are making movements. From walking to smiling, throwing a ball, and brushing our teeth, our brain, nervous system, bones, muscles, and many other body parts are keeping our amazing bodies on the move. In What Happens When I Move? the body parts and processes involved in movement are explored through a child's everyday actions. Fascinating facts are woven into lively, accessible step-by-step explanations, delivering solid science in a way that's perfectly suited to the book's Grade 2 readership.

When you want to move, your brain sends a signal down your spinal cord. This signal travels through nerve cells to the part of the body you want to move. Learn about the fascinating ways the human body functions in How I Move, a My Body title. Each title in the series introduces readers to the ways in which their body senses things, grows, and interacts with the world around them.
