*UPDATE 2* The sturdier version wasn't sturdy enough for many people, so I've tried to make it even more robust.

*UPDATE* I have updated the model, making certain parts of the design thicker so that it is easier to print. You can find the new version under the downloads tab - it's called "sturdier visualizer".

Objective: To picture the regions of the heart from which the bioelectrical signal (wave of depolarisation) is originating and use this to better interpret an ECG readout.
Audiences: Medical students, AP biology students, anyone who has recently had an ECG and is interested in learning where each of the signals is coming from
Preparation: A basic understanding of heart anatomy and the conducting system of the heart
Steps: Print and look.
Results: This is meant to be used a tool during an introduction to ECG interpretation. The next step (and potential assessment of what they learned) would be for the students to look at a real trace and determine the electrical axis.
