Continuing their study of the circulatory system this week, Summit second graders are learning about the heart and blood.  After reading and researching the circulatory system, students measured and compared their heart rate while standing and in motion.

Also, by mixing their own, students discovered what is in a drop of blood.  Discussing correct percentages, students added red blood cells (red hots), white blood cells, (white beads) plasma (Karo syrup), and platelets (silver sequins)!  So much fun learning!
