Dr. Ann Soo (a Laurel Mountain parent) brought the pig hearts to the enrichment cluster meeting. She also brought along scrubs for the students to wear and an informative hand-out on the heart. They had a discussion on the parts of the heart, how the heart works and the cardiovascular system. Then, the students had a chance to get their hands dirty by opening up the hearts.
Thank you Dr. Soo for lending your time, talent and expertise to our students. I think we have some future heart surgeons in the making.
Continuing to develop the whole child...
Excellent opportunity for the children to understand and appreciate key aspects of the medical profession. Very well received! Well done:)
