Life Education

For two weeks room 6 has been learning about the circulatory system with Victoria and Harold. We learnt about  the small intestine, kidney, heart, brain, muscle, lungs, arteries, veins, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, waste, and analgesics/medicine. We learnt  these fact:

• our heart beats 70 times a minutes
• did you know that your kidney washes your blood every day?
• there are one million filters in each kidney
• did you know that you brain weighs the same as two butters (1.5 kg)?
• you breathe 20,000 breaths a day.
• did you know that your heart is a muscle pump?
