Innovating Science® Kidneys and blood filtration lab activity
About this item
Learn the role of the kidney in blood filtration and waste removal along with the many functional tasks performed by nephrons.
- Students will create an artificial kidney model to filter simulated blood
- Aligned to NGSS Practices
- Performance expectations: MS-PS1-2, MS-LS1-3, HS-LS1-3
- Disciplinary core ideas: PS1.A, PS1.B, LS1.A
- Cross cutting concepts include patterns, systems and system models, stability and change
- Engineering practices include analyzing and interpreting data, planning and carrying out investigations
Learn the role of the kidney in blood filtration and waste removal along with the many functional tasks performed by nephrons, as well as nephron structure. Students will create an artificial kidney model to filter simulated blood. This will allow them to visually determine if filtration of the simulated blood may or may not have occurred.
Chemically test the resulting filtrate to detect any possible waste material that may have been removed by the kidney. Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups. Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.
Delivery information: Instructor's manual and SDS included.
Caution: This product can expose you to chemicals including Benzidine-based dyes, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to http://www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
