Heart Obstacle Course

This week our students will be taking part in the heart obstacle course. Students will be learning about the heart's function while traversing through the course. Students will act as oxygenated and non-oxygenated blood as they travel through the four chambers of the heart. An understanding of the heart will help students to understand the heart's function and the importance of staying heart healthy.
