One of this week's science projects was making a Blood Model. This assignment is from RSO:Life and it is detailed in the FREE Try Before You Buy download from Pandia Press. The goal of the assignment is to learn what makes up our blood and to see what a drop of blood would look like under a high powered microscope.
First we gathered all our supplies: Red Hots, Corn Syrup (Light), Lima Beans, Lentils, a clear glass jar, 4 crayons (tan, blue, yellow and red), 1/2 measuring cup and 1 tablespoon. I will say we modified and used double the amount of light corn syrup because it just didn't look as awesome with less.
Before making the blood, we learned what the blood is comprised of. RSO includes a worksheet to color and label the blood parts.
Here is a "drop of blood" magnified - in a jar.
A very cool close up.
The final results.

Very cool!
Hey Mary ... e-mail me at taulmans@netzero.net
I discussed with MY 15 year old the situation with YOUR 15 year old. Thought you might find his opinion insightful.

Ha! We are using RSO Life concurrently with Elemental Science, too. It's a nice match up.
Today must be human anatomy day on Science Sunday because this is the third great idea I've seen and I LOVE it!
That looks so neat! I downloaded the preview, we will be studying the human body this coming year and the blood model would be right up my daughter's alley, lol! :) Thanks for sharing!
Stopping by from the crew blog hop-very cool experiment!!
The model drop of blood is a fantastic activity for so many different ages! LOVE it! Visiting from HHH. I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow
Thanks Deb!
LOVE IT! Great pics! Thanks for linking up at NOBH!
I was searching around for a blood unit for us and came across your blog post. Thank you so much for sharing that freebie. I downloaded it and it looks great! We can't wait to do the blood model next week.
