Science in PrepOne
Science is fun at Rowntree Montessori Schools!
Teaching the systems of the human body can be a lot of fun. Watching our PrepONE (SK) students become more aware of their bodies and engaged in how it works was an enriching experience. Our Science in PrepOne students were amazed to learn how the blood gets around the body. Blood consists of liquid and solid particles. Blood is a mixture of two components: the liquid portion, called plasma, and the three cellular portions; white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Each ingredient in our blood does a special job.
The Experiment
To take a closer look at blood and how it works, we created a Blood Model. We used liquid soap for plasma, small marshmallows for the white blood cells, cinnamon candies for the red blood cells, and sparkles for platelets. Each component of the blood was reviewed as we added the ingredient into our glass jar. The students loved the experiment and had fun learning about the circulatory system.
This hands-on learning PrepOne experience has nurtured our students’ intellectual curiosity. Students acquired new ways of asking questions and understanding how the circulatory system works closely with other systems in our bodies to keep us alive.
