Product Details

A graphic and exciting activity that is sure to provoke discussion! Students simulate the exchange of body fluids as a means of spreading the HIV virus. Use this kit to initiate a discussion about the transmission of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases or any communicable infection. The instructor is able to affect the degree of spreading simply by altering the number of students initially “infected.” The striking results are indicated by an unmistakable color change. NO ACTUAL BODY FLUIDS ARE USED. This will be one of your most exciting class periods of the year.

Materials are provided based on a class size of 35 students. Enough chemicals are provided to conduct the tests 15 times.

Performance Expectations

MS-ETS1-1. Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
HS-ETS1-3. Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.
