This week’s anatomy lesson had us making a model of blood with corn syrup, red hots, dried beans, and split peas.
Then a coloring page reinforced the main four components of blood.
And this is as much blood as I can handle teaching. We’ll be outsourcing to Grandma Willett once they get up to looking at the real stuff!


What were the split peas supposed to represent?
Split peas=platelets
That’s what I was guessing, but wanted to make sure 🙂
