You could use a chocolate fountain to explain the composition of blood (White chocolate for the plasma, Pink marshmallows for Red blood cells and white ones for the white blood cells etc...). I seen this in action and the kids love it.. maybe you can think of way of making it spooky for Halloween.
Also some kind of murder mystery could be linked into forensics or you could do something with slime and phylum its function in the body, what gives it that nasty green and yellow colour for that yuck factor. These are just ideas from the top of my head...tried to google it but couldn't find any useful web resources.
Hope it goes well :) sounds like lots of fun!

Hi Psci-commers
 
Do you know the whereabouts of any spooky Halloween activities that I can do with 10-13year olds and their family?  I'm particularly interested in a biology twist.  We are going to learn about bats, make spiders, look at the skeleton.  Are there any web resources or any original ideas that you can tell me about?
 
Thank you
 
Jane
