Using the pig heart – which is almost identical to a human’s – students learn about the basic anatomy of all mammalian hearts. This kit provides a step-by-step student guide (with labeled color images) for 1 or 2 students to participate in an introductory-level dissection activity that includes locating and identifying external and internal features of the heart. Also comes with a teacher’s manual with instructional tips and additional resources.
