Animals Including Humans Year 6 Science Booklet | KS2 Science | Circulatory System & Blood Disorders

Give your child a clear understanding of how the heart pumps blood around the body — and what can happen when things go wrong.

This booklet takes your child through the full circulatory system — from cardiac muscle and valves to arteries, veins and capillaries — explaining how blood pressure works and how plasma, platelets, red and white blood cells each play a different role. It also covers heart health and finishes with an honest, accessible look at blood disorders.

• The circulatory system: cardiac muscle, valves and blood pressure
• Blood vessels: arteries, veins, capillaries and varicose veins
• What's in the blood: plasma, platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells
• Keeping the heart healthy: cholesterol, stroke and lifestyle
• Blood disorders: sickle cell anaemia, haemophilia and leukaemia — clearly explained with photographs
