Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

i don't really understand the procedure for the project "Blood Clotting to the Rescue: How to Stop Too Much Blood from Flowing." Please help explain it!

Hi,

That's a great project! I found the full procedure here - https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... #procedure

Was there a certain part that you did not understand, or you are stuck on? In general, the idea is to use the calcium alginate balls to imitate the blood cogulation process. You will disrupt the ball formation using sodium citrate as a mimic of anti-coagulants. Does this help get you started? Let meknow where the concern is - I can help get more detail for you.
