Let’s Begin…
Have you ever had an arm or leg fall asleep and then experience that poking feeling when you moved? This lesson will explore why we experience these feelings. Watch the video by SciShowKids and then complete the lesson.
Now that you know why we have arms and legs falling asleep, let's not forget how to prevent it. Do not sit or lean in one position for too long. Movement is the key to keeping our arms and legs from falling asleep and from us experiencing those pins and needles.
