What’s inside the human heart? In this kid-friendly episode of What’s Happening Inside Me?, we explore the anatomy of the heart in a fun and easy-to-understand way!

Building on what we learned about the heart’s double pump and two blood flow tracks, this episode breaks down the structure of the heart, including the four chambers, four valves, and major blood vessels. Kids will learn how blood moves through the heart, why valves are important, and how the heart works with the lungs and body to keep us alive and energized.

Perfect for elementary-aged kids, parents, teachers, and homeschool families, this episode makes complex human body science and cardiovascular anatomy simple, engaging, and memorable.

What Kids Will Learn:

The 4 chambers of the heart: left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, right ventricle

The 4 heart valves and how they keep blood flowing in one direction: mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve, pulmonary valve
The major blood vessels of the heart: aorta, vena cava, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins
A step-by-step explanation of blood flow through the heart
How the circulatory system, respiratory system, and cells work together

Ep26 | Heart Part 2 - The Two Tracks

Épisode 26

vendredi 6 mars 2026 • Durée 14:46

❤️ After last episode, did you start to wonder WHY the heart has two tracks for pumping blood?

🫀 In this episode of What’s Happening Inside Me?, Audra is joined by her kids, Sloane and Ransom as they dive deeper into the amazing double-pump heart. Building on last week’s episode, they explore why the heart pumps blood in two separate loops—one delivering oxygen to the whole body, and the other refilling blood with oxygen in the lungs. Using fun metaphors and kid-friendly explanations, they connect the heart to other systems in the body, including:

Cells and mitochondria, the body’s energy factories
Blood vessels, highways that carry oxygen and glucose
The lungs, where blood picks up oxygen and drops off carbon dioxide
The digestive system, which provides glucose to make energy

This episode is perfect for curious kids who love learning how everything in the body works together as a team.

🫀 In This Episode, Kids Will Learn:

How the heart’s double pump works
Why blood travels on two separate tracks
How oxygen and glucose get to the cells to make energy
How the body gets rid of carbon dioxide waste
How multiple systems in the body work together

🎧 Helpful to Know

Builds on ideas from previous episodes on the heart (Ep 25), cells (Ep18), blood (Ep 9 and 10), respiratory system (Ep 4) and digestive system (Ep 5 and 7)
Listening to the last episode (Episode 25) will help make this one extra clear

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Perfect For:

Kids ages 4–12
Families and curious learners
Classrooms and school nurses looking for fun science lessons

Ep24 | The Skin We're In: Part 2 - What the Skin Does for Us

Épisode 24

vendredi 21 novembre 2025 • Durée 17:31

In this follow-up episode on the integumentary system, we explore the amazing ways our skin keeps us safe, healthy, and balanced every single day. Last week, we learned what the skin is made of — this week, we focus on what it does for us and why we truly couldn’t live without it.

Sloane continues doubting if skin is really that important… and ends up discovering it’s one of the most essential systems in the entire body!

In this episode, kids learn how the skin:

Acts like a protective wall, keeping germs out
Helps prevent dehydration by keeping our body’s water inside
Uses sweat to cool us down when we’re hot
Works with hair and the hypodermis to keep us warm
Uses blood vessels to control body temperature through vasodilation and vasoconstriction
Sends messages to the brain through nerves to help keep us safe

We talk about how all these parts — skin, hair, glands, fat, and nerves — work together to protect us and regulate our temperature, making the integumentary system absolutely essential for life.

Ep23 | The Skin We're In: The Integumentary System

Épisode 23

vendredi 14 novembre 2025 • Durée 15:28

Sloane thinks skin is no big deal — until she finds out it’s actually an entire body system!

In this episode, Audra and Sloane explore the integumentary system — the body’s amazing outer layer of protection. Together, they discover that skin isn’t just skin — it’s the largest organ in our body and part of a team that includes hair, nails, and glands. From sweat to earwax to milk (wait… what?!), this episode uncovers the gross, cool, and important jobs your skin does every day.

What Kids Will Learn

The integumentary system is made up of the skin, hair, nails, and glands.
The skin is the body’s largest organ, made of three layers — the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis.
Hair follicles are like tiny flowerpots where hair grows.
Glands in the skin make and release important stuff — like oil, sweat, earwax, and even milk in mammals!
The word “secrete” means to make and release something.
A dermatologist is a doctor who takes care of your skin.

🏈 How our brains get hurt — from hits, hard stops, and even whiplash.
💫 What symptoms can happen when the brain gets injured.
🦺 And how to keep your brain safe by wearing helmets, playing smart, and resting when you need to.

It’s Halloween week — and Sloane has an idea! 👻
This time, she convinces Mom to share some of her “scary” stories from the ER. Don’t worry — these stories aren’t too scary, but they’re definitely interesting, a little gross, and packed with lessons to keep kids safe. 💀 From fishhooks to helmets to beads (and even blood!), this episode has it all.

You’ll hear:
🪝 A fishing trip gone wrong — and what happens when a fishhook ends up in someone’s cheek.
🚴‍♀️ A bike ride that turned into a real-life lesson about helmets.
💎 A bead-in-the-nose story that might sound familiar to some parents...
🩸 And finally, a not-so-spooky vampire-style story about blood transfusions and how donating blood can save lives!

This Halloween, we’re mixing a few chills with a whole lot of learning. Perfect for car rides, classrooms, or cozy listening while you carve pumpkins! 🎃 Lesson Takeaways:

Always listen to safety rules — they’re there for a reason!

Ep20 | Burps and Farts

Épisode 20

vendredi 24 octobre 2025 • Durée 14:15

My brother told me I had to do an episode on burps and farts… so here it is!

Let’s be honest — everyone does it. But have you ever wondered why? In this episode, Sloane and I dive into the science behind burping and tooting. We’ll talk about what’s really going on inside when gas builds up, why it’s totally normal, and how our amazing body systems all work together to make it happen. We’ll learn about:

What happens when you swallow air (and where it goes!)
The tiny bacteria living inside you that make gas
Foods that make us extra gassy (yes, beans made the list)
And the fancy doctor words for burps and farts — eructation and flatulence!

It’s science. It’s silly. It’s slightly stinky. And your kids are going to LOVE it.

Perfect for: Curious kids (ages 4–12), parents, teachers, and anyone who secretly finds burps and farts hilarious — so, basically, everyone.

vendredi 17 octobre 2025 • Durée 08:14

Ever wondered what your belly button actually does? (Spoiler alert: not much!) But don’t worry — that tiny spot on your tummy used to be one of the most important parts of your body when you were a baby growing inside your mom!

In this episode, Audra — a former teacher, emergency room PA, and mom of four curious kids — takes listeners back to before they were even born to explain how the umbilical cord and placenta helped them eat, breathe, and grow long before their actual birth day.

Kids will learn:
🩸 How oxygen and nutrients travel from mom to baby
🎈 What the placenta and umbilical cord do
👶 Why the belly button is actually a scar
🤯 How your blood and your mom’s blood never actually mix!

Ep18 | Zooming In: What are Cells?

Saison 3 · Épisode 18

vendredi 10 octobre 2025 • Durée 18:47

What’s smaller than small and busier than busy? It’s the cell—the tiny building block of every living thing! In this episode, Audra and her 8-year-old cohost Sloane explore what cells are, where we find them, and why they’re so important. Using fun examples (and a few Lego bricks), they zoom in layer by layer—from body systems to organs to tissues—all the way down to the microscopic world inside every cell. Along the way, they meet three superstar organelles:

🧠 Nucleus – the control center that holds DNA, the instructions for building you
⚡ Mitochondria – the “powerhouse” that turns food and oxygen into energy (ATP!)
🏭 Ribosome – the protein factory that makes all the proteins which help your body grow, heal, and work properly

By the end, kids will understand how every breath, bite, and heartbeat depends on the work of trillions of cells—all working together like a team of tiny builders inside us.
