The purpose of this study was to instil students' understanding of the liquids flow rate and viscosity through an experiment. The experiment was carried out on 18 grade 3 elementary school students consisting of 2 students with special needs (hearing impairments (HI)) and 6 students categorized as slow learners. The method used was the single subject method by doing pretest and post-test. The experiment's equipment was an aquarium pump machine, likens the heart that was connected to a 5mm diameter hose pipe likens the blood vessels. Then, the protractor was used to measure the degree of height. It illustrated the destination of blood flow delivered to several parts of the body and a ruler and stopwatch as measurement tools. The tools were used to measure the distance, height, and duration when the fluid was pumped out. The results show that the flow rate with a high viscosity level took a longer time than the low viscosity level. The demonstration could be understood by all 3rd-grade elementary school students, including the students with special needs. Further, the demonstration method impacted students' understanding in choosing foods and drinks healthy for the body. © 2020 Taylor's University. All rights reserved.
