Materials Required:
Two clear pipes or plastic tubes
Water
Pink Play-Doh (to simulate cholesterol buildup)
Steps Involved:
Set up the two clear pipes so that water can flow through them.
Leave one pipe clear for a normal flow of water.
Use the pink Play-Doh to partially clog the other pipe, simulating narrowed veins or arteries due to cholesterol buildup.
Run water through both pipes and observe the difference in flow rate between the clear pipe and the clogged pipe.
Discuss how cholesterol buildup narrows blood vessels, reducing blood flow and causing potential health problems.
Emphasize the importance of a healthy diet to prevent cholesterol buildup and maintain good cardiovascular health.
