| Abstract | This activity works well at the end of a human heart discovery unit. It is at the synthesis level of Bloom's cognitive hierarchy of learning. Students use their knowledge of the human heart and create a new heart with slight variations in anatomical structure. Students are given a story about an alien nation who suffer from hearts which fail early in their lives asked to design an artificial heart which will help these aliens extend their life expectancy. |
