Discussion:
The Results were great, it was awesome to explore and play with the tubes. I identified the right atrium, the left atrium, right ventricle and left ventricle. I learnt that valves are really small, The arteries were large and they take blood away from the heart. I put my phalanges (fingers) though three of the arteries.🍖🐑
