The preschool class continues to learn about the human body and recently did a heart experiment. The children poured red water into a balloon, inserted a straw into the opening and then taped it closed.
After filling the balloon with water the children could “pump” the balloon to see how blood flows through veins.
After completing the experiment the children and teachers talked about how important it is to have a healthy heart.

Our preschool class is moving on to a new science topic and will be learning all about the human body.
Teachers traced each child’s body.
The children cut out their bodies and then attached them to the mirror in the gym.
This week the children are learning about the circulatory system. After watching a video of a model heart pumping on the classroom’s ipad they they colored a heart diagram.
The hearts were cut out and glued to the children’s paper bodies. More heart experiments are planned for this week.
Over the next two to three months the children will have many opportunities to learn about individual organs as well as the skeletal, nervous, and muscular systems. The preschoolers will explore the 5 senses, and then we’ll end the unit learning how to stay healthy. Some of the staying healthy topics include germs, nutrition, and exercise.
