Blood Splatter on Textiles

Forensic scientists use bloodstain patterns to help figure out the events of a crime scene, or to help verify if a story is true or not. Today we're going to investigate how the texture of a surface affects the shape of the blood splatter. You will use fake blood, made from corn syrup, and different types of medium to drip the blood onto. The question we want to answer is how does surface texture effect the shape of blood splatter patterns.

Materials: simulated blood, eye dropper, cardboard, paper, tile square, fabric, paper towel, carpet square.
