An excellent pediatric patient education aid, this chart describes the circulatory system and challenges the child to "Run a Race with Your Blood"--a fun way to illustrate how the blood works its way through the body. Using colorful, anatomically correct illustrations, the chart demonstrates and describes the role of the heart, blood cells, and blood vessels, and shows how cuts heal. It includes fun facts ("If all your red blood cells were laid end to end they would stretch more than 2 times around the earth.") and fun things to try in the classroom or at home to show how the circulatory system works.
