Lesson Plan

Microfluidic Devices and Flow Rate

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

When you have to flow, you have to flow. The lesson plan introduces class members to microfluidic devices and their uses in medicine. They watch a short video on how the diameter affects the rate of flow. The worksheet has individuals calculate flow rates using different scenarios in the third part of the four-part series.
