Parts of the blood
Drag the labels into the right slots. When you are ready, use the 'Mark' button.
Discussion points
- Why would someone with a low platelet count need to be careful to avoid getting cuts and grazes?
- How might having a low white blood cell count impact someone's health?
- Why are red blood cells disc-shaped?
Teaching tips:
Use this activity to support learning within the topic of the circulatory system. This activity will help children to consolidate their knowledge of the roles of the different components of blood.
Explain that the image within the activity shows something similar to what you would see when examining a drop of blood under a microscope. Perhaps compare this to a real microscopic image to challenge children to identify each component in 'real life'.
Also see Circulatory system, Circulation vocabulary, and Parts of the heart.
