REFLECTION
In this station’s lab, you were introduced to the structure of the heart, how it pumps blood, and how the electrical system tells the heart when to contract.
- Think about the electrical system in your car. If the electrical system in your car broke down, what do you think would happen?
- What happens when the electricity goes out in your home? What in your home would not work without electricity?
- How are these things similar to the way your body works?
