Sheep Heart Dissection Kit

Learn how the heart works as you locate the internal parts of a sheep heart! 

An interactive sheep heart dissection is a great way for elementary, middle school, and high school students to learn about anatomy and life science. Dissecting parts of other mammals, like a sheep or pig heart, gives us some amazing insight into our own anatomy!

This complete sheep heart dissection kit comes with:

• a preserved sheep heart, 
• a full-color photographic sheep heart dissection guide, 
• a #22 scalpel, 
• a dissecting probe, 
• dissection pins, 
• and a disposable dissection tray

Using the preserved specimen, illustrated dissection guide, tools, and dissecting tray inside this sheep heart dissection kit, curious learners of all ages can find and closely inspect parts of the heart and circulatory system such as the left atrium, right atrium, aorta, right ventricle, left ventricle, and so much more.  

Dive deeper into your exploration of sheep organs and anatomy with our Sheep Brain Dissection Kit and Sheep Kidney Dissection Kit.

Home Science Tools recommends using disposable gloves for all dissections.

Note: Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced first with water and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which will not decay over time.
