Mrs. Weber set up an adventure
course that was about the heart. We were
the red blood cells that were running though the body. It was harder than it
seemed because we first got onto the scooters and scooted through two tunnels
and around six blue hopes which represented the right side of the heart. After
that we had to go through one more archway which led us to the pulmonary artery
(this was a blue rope that we pulled ourselves across). After that, we dropped off our Carbon Dioxide
(blue dodge ball) and grabbed some Oxygen (red dodge ball) on the way to the
lungs. Once we went through the left
side of the heart we got to decide whether we wanted to go to the brain or to the
rest body. If you went through the body you would run around the gym and if you
went through the brain you do you had to draw a math fact card and an exercise
card to do. After you went through the whole course you would just repeat it
over and over again.
Mrs.
Weber wanted us to learn about the human heart and about health conditions. We
had a special Heart test that included a heart diagram and questions about the
heart and blood. Throughout the week we learned about the heart, plus we got
time to study for the test and then the next gym class we found out our test
results!
Our
favorite part of the adventure course was that we acted as the red blood cells that
got to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide through the heart and the rest of the
body. The course was
amazing because it was based off of the heart so we got to see how the heart
works and pumps blood throughout our entire body!
