Hypothesis:
If the blood is dropped from an increased height/distance, then the splatters
will be larger (more spread out) than those dropped from a shorter
distance.
The independent variable is: the height the blood is dropped from
The dependent variable is: the diameter of the blood stain
Simulated blood
White paper
Paper towels
Procedure:
1. Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment.
2. Obtain all materials.
3. Drop the blood from varying measured heights. Incriments of 20cm.
4. Record the height the blood was dropped from.
5. Record the diameter of the blood splatter.
6. Repeat steps 3-5, 5 times increasing the height by 20 cm or until the height of
115 cm is reached.

Summary Paragraph:
As the height from which the blood was dropped increased, the diameter of the blood
splatter increased by an average of 1mm for every 20 cm that the dropper was raised.
To better the experiment, more trials should be conducted to improve the accuracy of
the data. Overall, the data proved the hypothesis correct.
