The platelets rise to the top

The other day I reported there were suggested science activities we wouldn’t be doing to supposedly learn more about blood. Like the mix the red hots (1/2 cup red blood cells) and lima beans (5 white blood cells) and lentils (1 tablespoon platelets) in 1 and 1/2 cup karo syrup (plasma) activity.

Well, guess what we did and learned.

The platelets rise to the top!!!!!

And they rise to the top real fast too. Too fast for my camera to catch them all mixed together.

If you look real hard you can see Raquel Welch swimming around looking for the Fantastic Voyage sub.
