6MR Science - Blood Soup

This half term, Year 6 are studying the circulatory system. We have been investigating what blood actually is and the children have been researching about the components of blood.

This week, the children made 'blood soup' based on their learning. They used dilute orange squash to represent blood plasma; red sweets to represent red blood cells; white marshmallows to represent white blood cells; and rice to represent the platelets.

They demonstrated their understanding of the main functions of each component well and enjoyed making their 'blood soup'!
