Description
Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Your students will enjoy learning about the heart using this unique model, which includes valves that open, close, and can even be contracted! First, they will use the included materials to make the heart. Then they use the model’s colorful components to identify the different parts of the heart, including the major blood vessels. The model also provides an easy-to-follow look at how blood flows through the heart during the cardiac cycle.
This model-making kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The included comprehensive teacher resource guide provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary, and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
