Question
Hi,
I would like to know how can I make an heart model. It is for a school project and it is meant to make the blood flow when we squeeze each chamber. Me and my group were thinking in something like silicone. What would you suggest?
Thank you
José

Answer
I may be a biologist Jose but when it comes to creative art projects I am a flop. To make a heart model that actually moves liquid through it is an awesome task.  Just out of curiosity I googled "making a heart model" and found a lot of ideas.  Try it.
