Did you know, the hearts strings can break after a deep emotional trauma causing the heart to lose form as a result of being unable to pump blood effectively, you can literally die from a broken heart.
Today the grade 10 and 11 students were disecting Ox- hearts in life sciences. OX Heart is double the size of veal heart, three times the size of pig heart, and four times the size of lamb heart. A trimmed heart weighs on average 3 to 4 pounds (1 1/3 to 1 3/4 KG)
Dissecting animal organisms is a tricky subject which ultimately some will object to and that’s OKAY. There will always be some students who wish not to do a dissection, and Mrs Saunders always allows whatever level of participation they choose in these experiences. Many prefer to just watch. Many of those eventually join in.The Economics and grade nine learners came in to watch the grade 10’s dissect hearts, as well as other teachers from other subjects.
There was blood on the table, with the equipment needed to dissect a heart. The learners felt as if they were doctors doing a heart operation on someone.
The important thing was that everybody had fun and learnt something from this new and amazing experience.
