What is in blood? What do all the parts do? And what has this all got to do with slime?

Dr Rob and the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood team up to investigate the wonderful world of blood. All whilst adding a little extra, the science of slimes, along the way. Making a slime-based version of fake blood (with all the components) is not just scientific and educationally insightful, it’s also a bloody good time!

This is a sequel to last year’s Big Bloody Experiment, and if you liked that, hopefully you’ll love this. It is designed to capture the attention of the whole class all while making batches of slime-based blood. There will be easy to follow videos explaining what to do, the science behind it all, links to the real world and some teacher tips.

There will be a broad range of topics covered, including:

• what’s in our blood
• what those blood cells all do and how it is vital for us
• the strange ways of slime
• slimes out there in nature
