OUR BLOOD MODEL FOR RSO SCIENCE

This week Princess Perfect has been studying the circulatory system and we made our own scrumptious blood model to illustrate the various functions of the four parts of blood. 



The plasma was maple syrup.
The red blood cells were lollies and were perfectly shaped with the little dent in the middle!
The white blood cell was the lima beans
The platelets were lentils
 
Ok, only the lollies where scrumptious and were the sugar free variety so allowed to be sampled.
Of course the plasma is naturally straw coloured, it is only the blood cells that make it red.
Unfortunately the red blood cell ended up being bigger than the white blood cell in this experiment as lima beans was all I had to depict the white blood cell !! 




Princess Perfect then completed the accompanying worksheets describing the various duties of the four parts of the blood.
