Kidney Filtration Simulation Kit, Materials For 30 Students

|5 ratings

Key item features

Students build a simple model of the renal artery, renal vein, glomerulus, and nephron to simulate kidney filtration and learn about the process of excretion. Using beads of different sizes and colors to represent essential blood components, they model the filtration process that occurs in the kidney as blood flows in via the renal artery. Students also learn about the process of complete and selective reabsorption and explore why urinalysis is such a powerful tool in diagnosing disease.

A great teaching tool for STEM outreach

I research kidney damage due to diabetes. I bought the kit to use in STEM outreach activities. It worked very well with a group of 2nd-8th graders and their grandparents. The worksheet was geared to higher grades, but I simply explained about the topics rather than making them look up the answers to the questions.

Great hands-on learning

I am a substitute teacher and was worried about spending my own money to teach the Urinary system. I am glad I did, the students loved the activity and thanked me for teaching them. I had one student tell me "I actually learned something today". It made it worth every dollar. This is a great activity.

Interesting but awkward.

Just okay. There is good background information, and the idea is pretty good. Actually operating the simulation is sort of flaky and awkward. You'll need to do quite a bit of explaining as to what is happening. My students did not see a connection between the simulation and the post-lab questions, and frankly, neither did I. The instructor will need to step in to make the connections. You can use the simulation to help illustrate answers to the questions, but the teacher (or another outside resource) will be necessary to get answers to the questions.
