Open Heart

Of course school is always a good time but this past Thursday we had a particularly fun time with our fifth graders in the science lab. We’ve been working through the circulatory system as a class and after studying the heart we decided to dissect one. Fortunately, they’re readily available at our local market since anticuchos (fried cow heart) is a local dish.

Here are a few pictures of us and the kids working our way from the right atrium to the aorta of two cow hearts.
