On Thursday we dissected a heart! But before all the cutting, we took a quiz on the heart, parts of the part, and functions those parts carry out. This dissection was on UP27-32. Before you cut the heart ''like a doughnut'' Mrs.Stein quizzed each lab group to make sure you knew the parts of the heart. Then we cut it in half, and examined in interior of the heart. Gross, right? But actually there were some neat things you could do. If you stuck one finger through the pulmonary artery and another through the superior vena cava (I think) you could touch your fingers!
The homework due on Monday were as follows:
Finish UP27-32
4 Corners worksheet on 33.2
Here are some pictures of the heart:
Monday April 25 - Pulse Lab
At the start of class, we got back some graded work and a grade report! We went over our quizzes and overall, the average was a C. Today before beginning a lab we talked about your pulse, just to get a gist of things before the lab. For the lab we worked in partners. We first tested our resting heart rate and then did several activities meant to increase of slow down your heart rate such as holding your breath or exercising.
The homework from today is as follows:
Read AND annotate UP33-35
Finish Pulse Lab - Due Thursday!
The next scribe will be...........Amanda! (sorry :)
