Apologia Young Explorers Human Anatomy: Circulatory System

The Co-op class did both a simulated blood typing lab and blood tests with the Eldon cards.  The Simulated Blood typing kit is a useful tool.  The kit has fake anti-sera for the fake blood.  The Eldon cards have anti-sera droplets impregnated into the cards.  Using the fake sera first helped them to understand how the cards work.  I think the kids are going to make a Model of blood, next.  Sure I could show them the models; personal experience trumps any online images.  There are eight children in my class; so, I ordered the red water beads and ping pong balls online through Amazon for about $16.  The American Heart Association has an excellent kids program.  I need to check in with my class to see if they want to use elements for their next outreach program with the Head Start class of four year olds.  I'm looking for more.  This Heart coloring page looks okay, especially in conjunction with this circulatory sequence.  These paper models would make great additions to my kids' science journals for their portfolios.
