Filling out her worksheet about what blood is composed of. She was surprised to learn blood is not really red!
Getting her ingredients ready for her lab.
We have plasma (karo syrup), red blood cells (red hots), platelets (split peas or lentils) and white blood cells (lima beans). She wrote out what each stood for so she would remember when she added them to the jar!
Adding the red blood cells which she learned carries oxygen to the rest of the body. She learned platelets help plug up cuts, white blood cells fight disease and that the plasma helps move everything along and carries food.
Stirring up her blood!
