The Journey of Blood
During this project, children learn about the role of the circulatory system and its main parts, carrying out research to answer their own questions. They look closely at the heart’s structure, functions and features; explore blood by preparing a representation of a separated sample; learn how each blood vessel works; and discover how diet, exercise and drugs affect the body.
