Year 6 Heart Dissection In Year 6, the students have been learning about animals including humans in their Science topic. In Year 6, the students have been learning about animals including humans in their Science topic.

As part of this learning, the students have learnt about the human body and how the heart works. To deepen their understanding, they had the opportunity to dissect a sheep’s heart in the Secondary science labs. They all really enjoyed the activity, and this really helped with their understanding. Students will now use this knowledge to produce an explanation text on the heart.

Tan from 6A said - “I really enjoyed the fact that I could visually see the atriums and valves in person rather than looking at a diagram on a screen. I also enjoyed this because I got to feel the heart and feel the size of the heart.”
