Hearts/Science

• What have we been learning about?

For a few days, we've been learning about parts of a heart and we wanna know how hearts work. 

• Why are we dissecting hearts?

So we can see the parts of a heart and so we could explore and explain the hearts better, and that we could make sure what are we learning about.

• What are the parts of the heart? Did you see them? The right ventricle, left ventricle, right atrium, left atrium, aorta, vena cava, aortic valve, and pulmonary. I´ve seen most of them and its pretty cool because I´ve never seen a heart in real life. We cut it split open to see the parts of a heart and it looks weird because it was our first time.

• Did you enjoy the dissection? why/why not?

I enjoyed dissecting a heart because it was my first time. 

This is the heart we dissected. So first we cut the side and the other side and we open it up. I saw the heartstring, valves, ventricle septum, and artery.
