Today we made blood soup! We discussed what is in our blood and what the different things in our blood do. We used Marshmallows for white blood cells (only two though, because we are healthy!), red hots for red blood cells, rice for platelets, and corn oil for plasma! The students loved how "gross" it was!
*red blood cells: which carry oxygen throughout the body
*white blood cells: which fight infections
*platelets: which are cells that help you stop bleeding if you get a cut
*plasma: a yellowish liquid that carries nutrients, hormones, and proteins throughout the body
