This document contains a worksheet about blood components and functions. It asks students to identify the three major components of blood, the process of stopping bleeding, the component containing clotting factors, and the disease where clotting factors are absent. It also asks about the five types of white blood cells, their importance, which signal other cells to attack and fight infection, prevent blood clots, provide immunity, and promote blood flow. Additional questions cover blood typing, red blood cells, oxygen/carbon dioxide transport, and platelet/white blood cell percentage. The final questions ask students to research and write a paragraph on sickle cell anemia and draw pictures labeling normal and sickled red blood cells.

Art Project: 1. Draw a picture that demonstrates all of the components of blood. 2. Then, draws two red blood cells side by side. The first should be a normal red blood cell and the second a sickled red blood cell. Label every cell in each drawing.
Draw all of the components of blood in the box below:
Draw normal red blood cells on the left and sickled red blood cells on the right:
