This activity guides students in building a three-dimensional blood model. Adults have approximately 1.2-1.5 gallons (or 10 units) of blood in their bodies. Using that as a guide, psyllium powder and water are used to construct plasma. Three types of pasta are used for other blood components (red and white blood cells and platelets).
For further visualization purposes, segments of the model can be displayed in Petri dishes. Additionally, students are prompted to make connections after viewing a prepared slide of human blood under a microscope.
