This Cross Section Model - Brain brings the wonder of the human body into everyday learning with this playful cross-section model of the human heart. Made from soft yet durable foam, this tactile resource invites curious hands to explore how the heart works through real, hands-on discovery. Its lightweight design makes it easy to pass around, encouraging shared exploration and conversation while building understanding of an essential body organ.
This engaging model opens the door to meaningful discussions about how blood and nutrients travel around the body. Learners can clearly see and trace the journey of blood as it moves through the chambers and valves, turning abstract ideas into something concrete and memorable. With clearly defined features such as the aorta, pulmonary artery, atria, ventricles and valves, the heart becomes less mysterious and far more approachable.
Included resources add even more value. A key card supports identification of each heart part, while the step-by-step guide explains blood flow in a clear and friendly way. The teacher’s guide extends learning further with fascinating heart facts, healthy living tips and activity suggestions that help make the most of the model during group learning and guided play experiences.
