Our unit on the human body continued this week when we talked about the heart, veins, and arteries. The children felt their hearts beating rapidly after they ran in place and put their hands on their hearts. They got to listen to their hearts through a real stethoscope. We used a latex glove filled with red water to demonstrate how the heart works. The children took turns pumping the "heart" and watching the "blood" flow out. They learned that the blood flows throughout the body through our veins and arteries. Ask them to show you their veins!
