We continued to discover more about health and wellness in our second week of summer school.
Lots of Blood
What better way to learn about blood than fishing through a pool full of it!
Well fake blood.
Did you know that your blood is made up of liquid and solids!
Everyone collected all the different parts that make up our blood.
It was a messy job but we learned that blood is an intricate part of our bodies.
Flex those Muscles
Muscles are interesting things. They keep us from being a blob on the floor and enable us to move around.
It’s important to keep your muscles nice and healthy. One way is to exercise. You can go running, play soccer or you can make your own weights and start lifting those!
Another great way to keep those muscles big and strong is too fuel them with food.
Tofu Factory Trip
Protein is an essential food group to help muscles grow.
Tofu is a great source of protein and we visited a tofu factory to learn more about how it’s made.
Everyone got to make their very own container of tofu! We even got to drink some of the soy that made it.
We know that eating the right food can help keep us strong and healthy and it was a lot of fun learning more about it in our second week of summer school.
