P5 Make a Blood Model

P5 have been learning all about themselves and wanted to know more about their blood. After some exciting experiments to see how fast blood is being pumped around their body they decided to have a go at making blood models to show all the different parts. After careful research they choose materials to represent each part. The cheerios represented red blood cells, the white marshmallows they felt looked like white blood cells, they had brown foam for platelets and yellow paint for plasma. They then recorded their findings. Such clever scientists in Primary 5!
