Determining how the height a drop of blood falls from affects the blood drops radius is done through experimenting by dropping the blood from varying heights. The hypothesis for the Blood Spatter Lab is that if blood is dropped from a pipette from gradually increasing heights, then the diameter of the blood drops will increase by a constant rate.
Materials and Methods The materials required to conduct this experiment are a computer, a project 1.1.6 Student Response Sheet, an Experimental Design Resource Sheet, Pipette, stand and clamp, ruler, simulated blood (red paint), and white paper. To begin the experiment collect the materials listed above on a clean flat area. After the materials are collected place the white sheet of paper on a flat surface (preferably a lab bench) and place the stand and clamp over the white piece of paper. Next, fill the pipette with the simulated blood and place the pipette inside the stand and clamp. Begin dropping one single
