As part of our GCSE Biology curriculum, Learners at RIS Mansfield’s City Hub recently dissected a pig’s heart in class.
Dissecting a heart can teach learners about the structure and function of a heart, as well as how blood flows through the body.
Jayne Barrell, Deputy Head at R.E.A.L. said: “The learners very carefully dissected the heart piece by piece, so they could study each part of the heart’s anatomy. They thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and doing something they had never done before.
“It was a really brilliant lesson to observe and delivered by Jess Norman, who joined R.E.A.L. as a Science Teacher at the beginning of the school year. Jess is amazing, and the young people love her and are so engaged in her lessons. We’re so glad she’s working here at R.E.A.L.!”
