How Do You Make A 3-D Model Of A Human Heart?
Making a 3-D model of a human heart is a fun science fair or craft project for an older student or a young student who has adult assistance. An easy medium to use is modeling clay, also known as plasticine. Simply mold the clay into the shape of a heart, label the various parts, and mount the finished project on a display board. Unwrap the clay. Using a good illustration of the anatomy of the human heart for reference, mold one pound each of the red clay into the two bottom halves of the heart. One pound represents the anterior (front) side of the heart, and one pound represents the posterior (back) side. Press your thumbs deeply into each piece of red clay, leaving a ridge in the middle. Each piece of clay will look like the bottom half of a walnut shell. Widen the pressed-out areas somewhat to represent the lower two chambers of the heart. Mold two identical halves out of white clay to represent the top part of the heart. The pressed-out areas represent the upper two chambers of the
