    This document provides instructions for making a blood slime model to learn about the components of human blood. The slime is made by mixing jelly powder, cornflour, and water to represent plasma. Red sweets are added as red blood cells, white sweets as white blood cells, and sprinkles as platelets. The proportions match the volumes of each component in real blood, allowing students to visualize how blood is composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

    You will need:
    • a sachet of red-coloured jelly
    powder - for example, strawberry
    or cherry flavour

    • 125g cornflour

    • warm water (the amount


    will depend on your desired
    consistency)

    • red-coloured sweets, or small,


    red, round fruits, such as
    Instructions:
    raspberries, grapes or cherries - to
    1. Add the cornflour and jelly powder into a
    be our red blood cells
    large measuring jug and mix them together
    • white-coloured sweets, such as using a large wooden spoon.
    marshmallows or bonbons - to
    2. Slowly, stir in the warm water until you
    be white blood cells which are
    have a thin, slimy, watery consistency. This
    bigger than red
    represents the blood plasma. When you reach
    • cake sprinkles - representing your desired consistency, measure how much
    the platelets slime you have. Plasma makes up about 55%
    of the volume of blood, so the slime needs to
    make up just over half of the final mixture.

    3. Add the red-coloured sweets. About 45% of


    the volume of blood is red blood cells, so the
    amount of red-coloured sweets needs to be a
    little less than the amount of plasma slime
    you have made.

    4. Add the white-coloured sweets.


    White blood cells make up less
    than 1% of the volume of blood,
    unless you are fighting an
    infection, so you will only need
    to add a few white sweets to
    represent the white blood cells.

    5. Add the cake sprinkles to the


    mixture. Platelets make up less
    than 1% of the volume of blood, so
    you need to add approximately the
    same volume as you added of the
    white-coloured sweets.

    6. Mix all the ingredients together


    to make sure that they are all
    equally distributed throughout the
    blood mixture.

    7. Have fun playing with your


    blood slime!
