| Description | Doctors often send a sample of blood to a lab, to make sure their patients are healthy. In this activity, learners make a model of a human blood sample with oil and red sugar sprinkles, and then test it in a simple centrifuge similar to how medical labs test blood. Centrifuges, made from a plastic bottle, string, and tape, should be used outside in case there are any spills. Step-by-step instructions are included with photos. Activity guide includes a "What's going on?" explanation and connections to relevant science concepts like red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and hematocrit, using helpful diagrams. |
