parts of blood

This lesson focuses on the human cellular system, specifically exploring the components of blood and their crucial functions within the body. Learners will collaborate to model and explain the four major parts of human blood: Red Blood Cells (RBCs), White Blood Cells (WBCs), Platelets, and Plasma. Through scaffolded observation, group discussions, and teamwork, students will investigate each component's structure and primary function. The activities encourage them to explore how these different blood elements work together in a cohesive system to maintain bodily functions, including oxygen transportation and immune responses. The lesson emphasizes hands-on learning and critical thinking through modeling and synthesis, ultimately leading to a comprehensive understanding of blood's role in human physiology.
