Heart dissection classes are amongst the hardest and most daunting, partly because its difficult, its new with new tools and most of all because our boys have a terrible habit of lying about how squeamish they really are!
This single worksheet and one heart between two students is all you need for a top notch quality learning lesson, no slides required!
The worksheet shows a butterfly style heart dissection, so called as the front and back are seperated and if performed correctly resembles a gruesome butterfly, you will have access to each blood vessel, all valves and have a ver identifiable structure you can reference to in workbooks.
Tips for best practice
-Practice by yourself first!
-Show each step by webcam onto the big screen, or even better Discord can stream to multiple ipads/tablets on each desk.
-Make it a competion, biggest bloodclot found, best dissection, most features correctly identified etc.
-Let them mess it up, but show them their success (oh that incision is in the wrong place, but you just found the Aorta!!!)

If pupils are wrong they will hear ‘mala suerte’ (bad luck) and then a description of what the picture really is. If the pupil is right they will hear a praise word and a confirmation that there were right with the item they chose. Audio embedded, notes at bottom of slide.
In a busy world classroom, the mind is constantly pulled from one idea or happening to the next, scattering thoughts and emotions and leaving students feeling stressed, highly-strung and at times quite anxious.
If you have students who need to take a moment of calm in elementary. Primary or kindergarten then these easy, no prep cards will be perfect for your young learners.
A short break and moment of calm can allow your students to reset and you may be amazed at how you visibly see them destress!
It is essential for our students wellbeing to take a few minutes each day to cultivate mental spaciousness and achieve a positive mind-body balance.
These 5 minute in the moment cards take very little effort and can be done pretty much anywhere, at any time when you feel your class needs a moment of calm.
Simply stop and settle the students, read the card and allow five minutes for the students to observe and practice. Expand upon the card and allow the students to delve into their thoughts.
Alternatively you could allow the students to choose their own card and practice a calm moment.
Included in this pack is:
20 x 5 minute in the moment cards
20 x backs for cards when laminated
This SOW was created to meet the COVID safety guidelines whilst we teach Dance in a classroom.
The entire SOW is adapted so students are doing practical work at a desk throughout. Our y7 students have loved this BUT could easily be used for other ks3 year groups too!
We used the Spinners and Dice available from YPO as resources to accompany this although this could easily work with a home made spinner or coloured sticks etc.
This comes complete with a knowledge organiser, DO NOW task sheets and a full Dance Vocabulary Quiz for students to be tested on their knowledge.
It also comes with a bingo grid for students to track progress and for teachers to mark.
