Cedar Class has been exploring the circulatory system in their Science lessons, and learners recently took their understanding to the next level by creating their own “model blood”. Using a variety of materials, learners visualised the components of blood in a fun and engaging way.
Yellow food colouring represented plasma, red food colouring and Cheerios were used for red blood cells, white marshmallows for white blood cells, and pom-poms for platelets. This hands-on activity allowed learners to see the proportions and roles of different components in blood, making a complex concept accessible and memorable.
Learners were enthusiastic throughout the investigation, demonstrating curiosity and scientific thinking as they assembled their models and discussed the function of each component.
Principal Snita Verma commented:
“It’s wonderful to see our Cedar Class learners bringing science to life in such a creative way. Activities like this help students understand complex concepts through practical, hands-on learning.”
