Every heart is made of two pumps: the right receives blood and pumps it to your lungs, while the left receives blood from the lungs and pumps it into the bloodstream. If you want to make a heart model and see this process in action, it's pretty easy! Whether you want to get hands-on with some playdough or get a bit more complicated using a Styrofoa...
Create the heart using red playdough.
Start by rolling a small red ball about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) wide and thick. Now, lay a finger vertically down the middle and press down gently to create a small indent. Press down firmly on the top to create another more prominent indent as if it were an apple. Finally, press firmly against the bottom-right of the apple shape to create a small, less prominent indent.
Leave the left side of the top indent (the right ventricle) slightly taller than the right side (the left ventricle).
Remember that the left side is actually the right ventricle and vice versa. If you get confused, imagine the heart inside your body!
Attach a small tube of red playdough to the top of the right ventricle.
Roll a cylindrical piece of red playdough about 2 inches (5.1 cm) long to act as the aorta. Once you're done, attach it to the top of the left bulge (right ventricle). Create a curve in the tube about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the heart that runs down over the right bulge (left ventricle) and tails off to the right.
Fill 1 Styrofoam cup with water.
The cup acts as the heart and the water is the blood. The size of the cup isn't too important, as long as it can hold at least 1 cup (240 mL) of water. If you have something larger, go for it!
You can use a beaker instead of a cup for similar results.
Add a few drops of red food coloring for a nice effect!
Cut the neck of a large balloon off with scissors.
Purchase some large balloons that are 11 to 12 inches (28 to 30 cm) in size when inflated. Take one and cut the neck at the region where it starts to widen into the body. Afterward, set the neck aside for later.
Drill 2 holes into a bottle cap with an
inch (0.87 cm) drill bit.
Standard straws usually have a diameter of about 0.36 inches (0.91 cm), which is roughly the size of a
inch (0.87 cm) drill bit. Attach the drill bit to your electric drill and create 2 holes in one of the caps about equal distance apart. To create the holes, place the cap onto a flat surface with the top facing upward. Now, aim the drill into the center of the cap and apply downward pressure while squeezing the drill's trigger.
Each hole should be big enough for your straws to slide through.
Never use an electric drill without the help of an adult!

Unfold the crease and do the same thing with the top left corner, but leave it folded. Fold the bottom part of the paper up so it meets the base of the triangle you just made.
