BLOOD!
We have had a great time learning about blood! We made notes about the main components of blood and then made our own representation of the liquid!
1) First, we made plasma with yellow food colouring and added salt to represent the minerals. About 55% of blood is made from plasma and it allows blood to flow through our veins.
2) Then we made the red blood cells - cheerios soaked in red food colouring!
3) The white blood cells were represented by little white marshmellows!
4) Finally, we added purple pom-poms to represent the platelets.
Here are pictures of our final concoctions!
