Map of the Human Heart

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Click on this link and find two animated graphics of the pumping human heart. The path of blood-flow is listed in steps. The connection to the "teacher lesson plan information" does not work, but there are other links to superb resources on this page. Create a reading comprehension worksheet and have your young biologists visit this website as homework. This is a valuable resource to use when working on the human body system or organs.
