The 4th graders put their heart and soul into learning about the circulatory system! After reading about and discussing the blood, vessels, and heart, they had fun with some hands-on activities that displayed their knowledge.
First, they made a candy model of the heart. They used candy that represented the size of the red and white blood cells and platelets, and they used corn syrup for the plasma.
They made a model of the body with the veins and arteries.
Then the 4th graders made a floor diagram of the heart showing the chambers of the heart and the direction that the blood flows.
Last, but definitely not the least, the kids added the circulatory system to gingerbread man cookies and enjoyed eating them.
