Lesson Idea | Blood Cells Experiment

This creative experiment allows 2nd-grade students to discover the components of blood by constructing a model that visually represents its makeup. Using simple materials such as corn syrup, red cinnamon candy, white beans, and white sprinkles, students will fill a clear container to create their blood model. The corn syrup symbolizes plasma, while the red candy represents red blood cells, white beans denote white blood cells, and white sprinkles illustrate platelets. By mixing these ingredients, students gain a tangible understanding of blood's structure.
