Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Can you explain blood oxygenation in a way that a kid could understand it?

Thank you so much for reaching out. This question sure got the hamster wheel going in my head. I composed a few different ways of explaining it, but each explanation became a bit too in depth perhaps depending on where on the K-5 scale we are talking here. I found a great website that actually did a better job than any of my explanations.

I also came across this one that has a video to go along with the explanation if we are closer to 5 then K.

Hope this helps. Please reach out again if there is anything else we might be able to assist with.
