Kidney Filtration Activity 

This activity engages children in learning about blood, the fluid and waste the blood collects that the body no longer needs, and how our kidneys help to “clean” the blood and remove the extra fluid and waste. The goal of this activity is to provide an opportunity for children to learn about our kidneys through play and hands-on manipulation.
