5. Introduction
DO NOT NEED TO TELL ME YOU ARE GOING TO WRITE A LAB REPORT.
Consists of 4 paragraphs (we will write these next)
Use your class notes (circulatory notes) and lab handout (Heart Dissection LAB) to complete the paragraphs/sentence starters!

6. Paragraph #1 Tell me the parts that we can find in a human heart
Ex 1st sentence: The human heart contains four chambers, four valves and five blood vessels.
Then Write at least 3 detail sentences
2nd sentence starts like this: The four chambers are the…..
MAKE SURE you have a CONCLUDING SENTENCE!

7. Paragraph #2 Tell me what each “category” of heart part does
Ex: Each part of the human heart has its own function.
Write at least 3 detail sentences
2nd sentence: The atria receive blood into the heart while the ventricles……
MAKE SURE you have a CONCLUDING SENTENCE!

8. Paragraph #3 Tell me the flow of blood through the heart
Ex: Blood flows through the heart in a repeated, predictable pattern.
Write at least 3 detail sentences
2nd sentence: Blood from the body comes through the superior and inferior vena cavae to the …
MAKE SURE you have a CONCLUDING SENTENCE!

9. Paragraph #4
Now you are going to link the human heart to the sheep heart and explain WHY we are dissecting a sheep heart.
Ex: The sheep heart contains similar parts and works in a similar fashion to the human heart.
Write 2 detail sentences and 1 commentary sentence
2nd sentence: For example, the sheep heart contains the same chambers, valves and…..
The commentary should say WHY we do not dissect a human heart
MAKE SURE you have a CONCLUDING SENTENCE that leads into the Big Idea!

10. BIG IDEA YOU CAN USE THIS SENTENCE:
We are doing this lab to determine if a sheep heart is comparable to a human heart.

11. Hypothesis:
YOU CAN USE THIS SENTENCE:
If I dissect a sheep heart, then I will find out that it is comparable to the human heart.

12. Purpose:
YOU CAN USE THIS SENTENCE:
The purpose of this lab is to see and dissect a three dimensional sheep heart. Also, I will practice safe laboratory technique and writing a lab report.
