Mel Beard's Biology 2 class really looked the part all kitted out in surgical gowns and gloves. This was in preparation to undertake, what was for many of them, their first heart dissection. After an understandably nervous start, once the class found their way around the chambers and attached blood vessels of the heart, they found the dissection to be quite interesting and informative. This dissection formed part of their Cardiovascular System unit and gave the class a hands-on approach to understanding the theory they had been looking at in the classroom. 

Disclaimer: The sheep hearts used for this dissection were a by-product of the meat industry.
