Yes, I do wish I had planned to study the heart closer to Valentine’s Day. But, I didn’t. However, we’re are starting the cardiovascular system next week. February is both Black History and American Heart Month. Here are African-American Trailblazers in Heart Helath, including Charles Richard Drew, the founder of the Blood Bank.
Back to heart models. I’ve made a few. We’re going to make clay models. Here are instructions. The Young Explorers Human Anatomy has instructions to make a Graham Cracker Heart. This was a big hit with the younger kiddos.
Have you tried to make a Functioning Heart with plastic bottles and straws? We make heart models to map how blood flows through the heart with a Human Heart Template and trace the flow with blue and red yarn. Look at this Instagram Reel of a Heart Model for more inspiration.
Finally, we have two models of the heart. Models really help to learn the components and trace circulation. (BTW, we’ll do the sheep heart dissection.)
