Ni Hao! In Science, we did a heart dissection! You may have seen my blog about my chicken leg dissection in which I stated that for my next experiment I would've liked to do something more interesting like an eye or a heart.
Aim: to look at the structure of the heart
Method: Gloves, scalpel, tray, scissors, tweezers, cleaning supplies, newspaper, and a Heart!
2) Get a tray
3) Get one piece of each instrument
4) Send one person in your group to collect the heart
Process
1) Cut off the fat
2) Cut down the aorta into the left chamber, which is the large chamber
3) Fibers in the heart (strings) help to keep the structure of the heart together
4) Found the pulmonary artery which flows blood into the lungs
Conclusion
The heart looked quite interesting especially when I pulled it apart. It was cool to look through all the arteries and examine all the fibers.
