Our Heart


Verse:
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Books:

  • learned about systolic and diastolic pressures
  • checked our own resting and non-resting heart rates using stethoscopes
  • found our carotid and ulnar pulse using our fingers. Our resting heart rate was much slower.
  • identified a few diseases of the heart: hypertension, coronary artery disease, ventricular tachycardia, afibrillation, heart attacks
  • colored, cut and glued our heart on to our body.
