The Circulatory System

Date: 1st Oct 2025 @ 4:13pm

For the past 2 weeks, Year 6 have been learning all about the circulatory system and how it works. Attached below are pictures of the children making their own model hearts and models of what is in blood. The children also worked really hard taking each other's pulses based on the work on Santorio Santorio, the physiologist who first tried to make someting that would help him measure heart rates: the pulsilogium. We found it quite tricky to measure pulse rate using this as it wasn't accurate and you had to match the pendulum with the pulse!
