The Heart

Mr Dufty's Rules for Research.

• Don't use Google!! Use the links provided or find a book about the brain - use your brain!
• Make your presentation fun BUT full of information!
• Don't copy what you find - write in your own words! This is stealing!!
• One page only - so PLAN before you put it in your book!!!!
• Get Mum or Dad to check that you have answered all the questions. Ask them for some help as they will know lots of stuff!

1. What does the heart do and how does it work?
2. Is the heart a muscle and if so what type of muscle?
3. What are the different parts of the heart?
4. Find five things that could cause heart disease?
5. Smoking is a major factor in heart disease, why is this?
6. What is a heart attack?
7. Why is the heart inside the rib cage?
8. What is CPR? Explain the steps.
9. How can you make sure you maintain a healthy heart?
