With our LEGO Body Forward project we have been talking about our bodies, and our muscles and bones in particular. Today we were really really fortunate to have had a visit from a radiologist (He's the doctor that takes X-rays and can tell from the X-ray what is wrong and how to go about fixing it). We had lots of questions for Doctor Dave. He showed us how to feel for our pulses and explained that we are feeling the blood beating from the heart and travelling through the arteries to the fingers. After playtime in the yard we could really feel our hearts and pulses racing.
We asked Doctor Dave would he like us to invent something to help make his job easier. He had some great suggestions (a high bed for a baby that could have sides which would pop up and stop the baby falling off the bed, an automatic trolley that could be programmed to wheel the patient to radiology, or a fake leg or arm that would work for a person who was missing their leg or arm). We're on to it Doctor Dave......wait till you see what we invent. Your job is going to be so much easier!!Thanks again to Dave for coming to visit and helping us with our project.
