Apologia Young Explorers Anatomy: Head Start Outreach

Yeah!  Today is an outreach event about blood.  The Anatomy classed prepped another outreach event for the Head Start class.  The kids made the stethoscopes with funnels on p. 147 and let the kids listen to their heart beats.  Then the little ones listened with real stethoscopes, watched blood pressure demos, colored hearts, played with the microscope that attached to a cell phone, looked at a blood smear under a conventional microscope, and made fake blood (plastic chips for platelets, ping pong balls for white blood cells, and red water beads for red blood cells).  We worked in stations.  Fun!  I love these events.  Everyone benefits!
