What surprised you about the lamb's heart?

Year 6 enjoyed a fascinating Science lesson this week, as part of our topic on the Circulatory System- one of our highlights of the school year! In groups, the children wore aprons and gloves to dissect a lamb's heart, using a proper scalpel. They were shown how to use the scalpel correctly and all were encouraged to try. The children explored the various chambers of the heart, as well as the valves, and were extremely interested finding out about how it felt to touch.
