Anatomy of the Heart with Drexel University College of Medicine | Curious in the Classroom

February is Heart Month! Drexel University College of Medicine first-year medical students will be facilitating interactive sessions every Saturday in February in the Reading Science Center’s “Curious in the Classroom.”

Embark on a heart-filled journey! Guests will have the chance to examine dissected pig hearts which resemble human hearts. Medical students will guide visitors through exciting activities like “Color the Heart” and “Hopscotch Through the Chambers of the Heart.” Preserved heart and lung blocks will be available for observation!
