Activity No. _1____ Activity Title: __Blood Coagulation____________

Materials:
Fresh blood
Small vial (or transparent glass)
Camera
Piece of paper
Ballpen

Procedure:

1. Put ample amount of fresh blood in small vial. Record the changes that happened in the blood.
2. Put some blood in the floor. Observe how long will it take the blood to coagulate. Record the
changes in 5, 10 and 30 minutes or until it dries.
3. Prepare a laboratory report consisting of the following:
a. Introduction
b. Result and Discussion (Attach pictures taken during the experiment)
c. Conclusion

A. INTRODUCTION

Blood coagulation refers to the vital process that stops excessive bleeding in the
event of a blood vessel injury. This activity demonstrates how blood clotting and drying
happen on a surface. In this task, we must monitor the blood's changes, check its
coagulation time, and observe the blood on the floor for 5, 10, and 30 minutes, or until
it dries, recording any changes.

B. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

The blood in a small vial begins to clot within 5


1.
minutes, resulting in the emergence of a thin, semi-solid
layer on its surface. As time passes, the blood separates into
clearly defined layers. The more visible darker clot and
yellowish plasma become in the liquid part of blood.
Afterwards, coagulation finished. The clot hardened and
thickened.
BLOOD IN A SMALL VIAL
2. BLOOD ON THE FLOOR

5 minutes 10 minutes 30 minutes


Completely dry

In 5 minutes the blood on the floor slowly become darker. The time pass by after 10
minutes would become noticeable more thicker and more visible clotting. The bloods surface
developed a firmer texture. After 30 minutes the blood has fully coagulated and it begins to dry. A
time pass by the blood has been completely dry.

C. CONCLUSION

This activity illustrates how blood can change from a liquid to a solid by the
clotting process, which can be affected by the amount of blood, temperature, and
humidity, leading to quicker coagulation. This activity demonstrates the process of
blood clotting as it dries on a surface.

Activity No. ___2_____ Activity Title: __Blood Pool____________

Materials:
Fresh blood
Small vial(or transparent glass)
Camera
Paper
Ballpen

Procedure:

1. Put some blood in three different volumes to create blood pools in the floor. Observe the drying
time of the blood.
2. Prepare a laboratory report consisting of the following:
d. Introduction
e. Procedures
f. Result and Discussion
g. Conclusion
(Attach pictures taken during the experiment)

A. INTRODUCTION
This experiment shows how blood dries differently depending on how much blood
there is. By analyzing the drying time of the bloodstain, taking into account the environmental
conditions, forensic scientists can estimate the time of the incident. A bloodstain resulting from an
accumulation of liquid blood on a surface. This activity we need to do an experiment about blood pool
and records what you observe during the experiment. Record the time passed of each blood with three
different volumes.

B. RESULT AND DISCUSSION


The tiny amount of blood on the floor resembles a small, circular puddle and it is still
damp. After a while, it appears damp but feels tough. It dried quickly and left a stain in no time.
Following is the medium-sized blood puddle. After 5 minutes, the edges begin to dry while the center
remains wet. After 45 minutes, most of it is dry except for a wet spot. After 1 hour, it is all dry except for
the edges being wet like jelly.

C. CONCLUSION

The larger the pool of blood, the more time it will take to dry. The outer edges dry quickly while
the center dries even faster. This experiment shows how the drying time of a blood pool is greatly
impacted by its size. Smaller pools dry out more quickly than larger ones, with the edges drying out first
and the center taking the longest to dry. This is because smaller pools have more surface area exposed
to air, leading to faster evaporation.

Materials:

2. Pour the blood in 1 foot, 3 feet, 5 feet distance from the floor.
3. Describe and compare the differences in sizes and shapes.
4. Splash/spatter blood in the wall from three different distances and angles. Describe and blood

A. INTRODUCTION

This activity demonstrates the correlation between blood height and its spread on the floor. The
analysis of bloodstains at crime scenes is known as blood spatter. It is an effective tool that aids
investigators in piecing together the crime, establishing the weapon used, and pinpointing the
positioning of both the victim and the perpetrator. In this lab, we must examine, detail, and contrast the
variations of dropping blood from 1 foot, 3 feet, and 5 feet distances from the ground, as well as
splattering blood on the wall from three different viewpoints.
B. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

1 FOOT 3 FEET 5 FEET

Blood pools in a small, round shape with smooth edges within a foot, causing minimal
splattering due to the gentle impact on the floor. At a distance of 3 feet, the blood forms a large puddle
with rougher edges and splatters slightly due to the impact on the floor. Blood creates a larger puddle
with jagged edges at a distance of 5 feet, splattering more due to hitting the ground with greater force.

3.

Downward to Upward Upward to downward Right to left

The initial image displays blood spatter that begins at a low point and ascends, resembling a
miniature explosion rising upwards. Something rises with a stabbing motion. Blood would splatter
upward in a comparable fashion. The upcoming image shows blood spatter descending from a higher
point to a lower point, resembling a shower of blood droplets. An object struck downward, the force
originating from above, resulting in the blood splattering downward. As the blood moved in a long, thin
line from right to left, following a right-to-left pattern. Something moved in a back-and-forth motion
from the right side to the left side. The blood forms a long, thin spatter as it moves along the path of the
swing

C. CONCLUSION

The further blood falls, the greater its dispersion and splattering. This happens because it
possesses greater energy upon impact with the ground. This set of trials shows a direct relationship
between the drop height of blood and the pattern it creates on a surface. As the height rises, the force
of impact grows stronger, resulting in a bigger and more uneven blood pool with more splatter and
satellite droplets. This underscores the significance of impact energy in determining how blood is spread
at a crime scene, offering valuable information for forensic analysis. Blood spatter patterns offer
important information about the dynamics of a violent incident. Through examining the form, trajectory,
and estimated altitude of the collision.

Activity No. _4_______ Activity Title: _Evidence Blood Collection___________

Materials:
Fresh blood
Small vial(or transparent glass)
Scraping material
Cutting material(scissor)
Camera
Paper
Ballpen

Procedure:

1. Put ample amount of fresh blood in small vial.


2. Pour the blood to form a blood pool in the floor, collect wet blood evidence and dried blood
evidence.
3. Stain a piece of cloth and collect wet blood evidence and dried blood evidence.
4. Prepare a laboratory report consisting of the following:
l. Introduction
m. Procedures
n. Result and Discussion
o. Conclusion
(Attach pictures taken during the experiment)

A. INTRODUCTION

This activity involves collecting wet and dry blood as evidence of a crime. It shows how
blood is gathered to serve as proof. Blood evidence plays a vital role in numerous investigations.
Proper collection is crucial for accurate analysis, whether it's from a floor or piece of clothing.
This manual offers a basic explanation of the process of gathering blood samples, highlighting
the distinctions between wet and dried blood.

B. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Blood on Cloth: -Blood is Wet: The blood seeps into the material, therefore a clean swab
is required to take a specimen from the affected region. Blood that has dried can be collected by cutting
out a section of the stained fabric.

Blood on the ground, bloody and wet: Obtaining a sample with a sterile swab is a simple
task. Simply glide the swab smoothly across the moist blood. Blood that has been dried is more difficult
to gather. You must delicately remove it with a unique instrument. The blood that is dried will crumble
into tiny pieces

C. CONCLUSION
These techniques play a crucial role in gathering blood samples from crime scenes.
Collecting samples carefully is essential to prevent contamination. This aids investigators in
examining the blood and gaining a better understanding of the events that occurred.
