Warming up

Guess the puzzle

What Am I? What Am I? What Am I? What Am I?

I am hot. I live in the water. I am in your body. I am red, green, or yellow.
I live in the sky. You can drive me. I am red. I am a healthy snack.
I am bright. I might make you sick. I am the symbol for love. I make good juice.
Don't look straight at me. Don't put a hole in me. Blood pumps through me. You can bite me or slice me.
I disappear in the night. Tie me up when you're done. Please don't break me. Give me to a teacher.
