Motivation:
What comes out when your skin was cut?
Describe it.

Activity Proper:
Watch a video about blood.
Answer the following questions:
1. What are the parts of the blood?
2. What is the work of each blood parts?
3. Describe the blood.
4. What is found in the red blood cells that
give the blood red in color?

Red Blood cells

The red blood cells contains
hemoglobin that gives blood its red color
and transport oxygen.

White Blood cells

White blood cells are fewer than RBC.
They are the soldiers of the body
because they destroy the germs that
enter our body.

Platelets
Platelets are the smallest blood cells
that produce a material for blood
clotting.

Plasma
The liquid part is made up of plasma.

Generalization:
The blood is a red fluid within the blood vessels. It consist of
solid and liquid parts. The solid parts include the RBC (red
blood cells) or erythrocytes; the wbc (white blood cells) or
leukocytes; and the platelets or thrombocytes. The liquid
part is made up of plasma.
The red blood cells contains hemoglobin that gives blood its
red color and transport oxygen. White blood cells are fewer
than RBC. They are the soldiers of the body because they
destroy the germs that enter our body. Platelets are the
smallest blood cells that produce a material for blood
clotting. When blood clots the plasma separates as clear
liquid.
Blood caries food and oxygen to all the cells and carries
away carbon dioxide and other wastes. It regulates body
tempearature. It also protects the body from infections.
