So a week ago for class we dissected a Sheep's heart. While our other classmates were off with their Pig and cow heart, we were stuck with our little, sheep's heart (a-ha!) As you could see from above the other hearts were about 3X bigger than my partner Ashley and my. Even though our heart wasn't as big, and it wasn't as clearly noticeable to find parts of the heart, we still did it. First we decided to cut the heart in half to get an internal view of the heart. It was really interesting to see all the parts of a real life heart. We were able to locate all the parts listed on a worksheet Mr. Lugwig gave us, and measure how big all the parts were. While others in the classroom were coming up with 3 inch parts, Ashley and I were lucky if we got over 1. It was kind of funny, but it just showed the difference in how the hearts were. And although they may have been different in size, it didn't make a difference in their function! :)
