Turn Valentine’s Day into a learning opportunity with this jumbo heart model [CR 611.12 B927]. The heart is often associated with the emotional and symbolic dimensions of the holiday. However, Valentine’s Day is also the perfect opportunity to begin learning about the physiological power of the heart using this activity kit. With this 4x life-size model of the human heart, science classes will benefit from its stylized detail in identifying the muscle’s important exterior and interior anatomical parts. The model also dissects into three parts for anterior, posterior, and interior viewing of the heart’s anatomical structure including valve details.
Currently on display on the coffee table near the Circulation Desk on the Ground Floor of the Library.
