Description
This high interest activity for grades 5-9 will grasp their attention and allow students to apply the concepts of a controlled experiment following the scientific method.
Students will time different simulated blood viscosities. Don't worry, there is no fake blood to buy just water, corn syrup and food coloring.
Within this lab there is a strong math connection to data analysis skills such as mean, median, mode or range as well as line graphs. Therefore this activity is great for science teachers or math teachers.

CCSS5.MD.B.2
Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots. For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally.
CCSS6.SP.B.4
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
CCSS6.SP.B.5c
Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
CCSSW.5.1a
Introduce a topic or text clearly, state an opinion, and create an organizational structure in which ideas are logically grouped to support the writer’s purpose.
CCSSW.5.1d
Provide a concluding statement or section related to the opinion presented.
