Project proposal
Description of Model:
An imitation of the heart, veins, and arteries, with “blood” pumping through it, using a pump, as well as a diffusion of the cells.
Drawing of the Model / This is what we hope our model will end up looking like.

Drawing of the Model / This is what we hope our model will end up looking like.
Functions:
We will pump “blood” through the little veins on the model to show how the heart works, and diffuse nutrients into the cells, and to diffuse with the cells.
Materials:
Blue and red clay
Cardboard or wood for base
Very small tube
Tape
Paint
Markers
Hand pump
Construction Plan:
Take piece of wood or cardboard and paint it. Form the heart model out of the red and blue clay. Attach the heart model to the painted wood or cardboard. Lay down the tiny tubes over the model to make it look like veins. Attach hand pump to the tiny tubes. Label the heart model with markers.
Science Principles Used:
Blood pressure
heartbeats per minute
Unresolved Issues:
We are not completely sure on whether or not the hand pump will have enough force to pump the fluid all the way through the tubes
Special Requirements/ Requests:
Some paint
Skinny clear tubes
