Our science topic this term is the human body. We have been learning about the skeleton, bones, muscles and are now beginning to learn about the main organs in the human body.  Recently we explored the heart. Your heart is sort of like a pump, or two pumps in one. The right side of your heart receives blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs. The left side of the heart does the exact opposite: It receives blood from the lungs and pumps it out to the body.

We filled up 3 two-litre bottles with red-coloured water to represent the quantity of blood in an average adult human. We passed the bottles around so we could feel their mass. Each bottle was around 2kg (6kg in total).

Next we used red and blue coloured play dough to make a model of the human heart. 🫀♥️
