Circulatory System
Circulatory System
Activity 2: Circulatory system game!
This game is a simulation where you/your child will be red blood cells working through the circulatory system! Split up into teams and relay, compete one-on-one, or see how fast the you can oxygenate every organ!
Print out pictures of human organs and hang them up around the house or yard.
Make little "oxygen molecule" cards and put them in a container labeled "LUNGS". Set the lungs close to a picture of the heart
To start the game have players pick up one "oxygen molecule" from the lungs. They have to touch the heart in order to start.
Next, they run to one organ and tape their oxygen to it. They then report back to the lungs to either tag in another red blood cell or grab another oxygen to oxygenate another organ. Make sure they touch the heart before continuing, red blood cells can't move through the body without getting pumped out by the heart!
Once every organ is oxygenated you have completed the game! Take the oxygen molecules off the organs and return them to the lungs to reset and play again!

Experiment one: Penny floating boats
Materials: pennies, tin foil, tub/ container, water
Use your scientific method chart to answer this testable question: How many pennies can you float in a tin foil boat?
*remember, in an experiment you would use only one tin foil boat and try it multiple times
