Have you ever wondered what was in one drop of blood? We thought this week we would examine blood and how it moves through the body.  What happens when you get cut, why is blood red not blue when oozing out. We also learn about the human heart, how it work and pumps blood through our system. 

We thought it would be fun to show you two different activities, “How to make edible blood”. The first was just fun and looked a lot like real blood but tasted amazing and was fun to watch the kids try to eat (great for Halloween).  The second activity was to show what was in a single drop of blood if you were a 50-foot monster.

Edible Blood Recipes and Videos:

We started off by watching several Ted-Ed talks and YouTube videos on how the heart works, blood pressure, and why there are different blood types. We actually watched these before our edible experiments.

Unschool Tools We Use and Love

We’ve been traveling full time since 2010 and have purchased a lot of tools that has stood the test of time and continues to help us keep learning. We’ve handpicked each one of the items listed and never recommend anything we don’t personally use and love.  These links are affiliate links from Amazon and other awesome companies (always noted). An affiliate link simply means that if you click through and purchase (costs you nothing extra) we get a few pennies too. If you enjoy what we do here, shopping through these links are a great way to help keep us creating and sharing.
