inspiration
As a science communicator, all of my work depends on simplifying concepts through experiments, sufficiency, and more interactive things. For a long time, I have wanted to create a simulation of blood movement because I notice the difficulty of establishing circulation system for children and they find it difficult to imagine it. From so here, my project will focus on this idea, and these videos have helped me to be able to make the idea correctly.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The two bottom chambers are the right ventricle and the left ventricle. These pump blood out of the heart
Pulmonary circulation. This part of the cycle carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and back to the heart.
Systemic circulation. This is the part that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart and to other parts of the body.
through this project you can see circulation yourself, firstly you have to know the name of each part so when you touch any part, it will be lighted and the LCD will show the name of this part, then when use the heart rate sensor to rate your heart pumping, the heart will move to simulate the pump.
after that the journey of circulation starts when you press the switch ON, the heart begins as blue and the left parts will show light and you can pull the ball to go the right side and repeat this step with the other side but when switching OFF. after all circulation the heart will be red.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
touch any part, and it will be lighted and the LCD will show the name of this part
Action: Light, shown in LCD
Sensing: touch sensor
Complete User Features
when you press the switch ON and use heart rate sensor, the heart begins as blue and the left parts will show light and you can pull the ball to go the right side
Action: Light
User Input: ON/OFF switch, heart rate sensor
Nice-to-have User Features
sound of heart pumping, speaker to define parts
Action 1: sound
User Input: ON/OFF switch
when using the heart rate sensor to rate your heart pumping, the heart will move to simulate the pump.
Action: pumping
Sensing: heart rate sensor
