You're never too young to learn anatomy |
 Children from the City Heights pre-school recently visited the W.D. Trotter Anatomy Museum. The children, with help from their teachers, had previously dissected a sheep lung and brain in class, and the visit to the museum was an opportunity for them to learn more about human anatomy.
Anatomy Research Fellow, and mother of one of the children, Dr Janette Quennell, said that the children had been learning all about anatomy as part of their early childhood curriculum. The children loved pulling apart and putting back together models of the brain, and colouring-in outlines of parts of the human body.
Comments some children made about the visit were:
“I liked the heart. It pumps blood around the body.”
“I liked the skeleton, and this is my tibia and fibula.”
“I liked putting the brain together.”
“I also liked the brain. It helps us think”.
