Blood Types

Human biology or genetics learners apply their knowledge to a unique situation: two newborn baby girls being possibly switched in the hospital. The engaging activity ends with a Punnett squares assignment in which pupils...

Mr. Bergman has been murdered and we need you to solve the crime! The cross-curricular unit covers 11 different types of forensic science and includes 17 activities. Scholars perform blood type analysis, blood spatter analysis,...

In this simulation activity, young biologists examine blood types to determine whether the death rate in a hospital was caused because of incorrect identification of patient blood types. You will need obtain and follow the procedures of...

Blood types and transfusions are explained in reading passages at the top of the instructional activity. A chart of blood type compatibility is also provided. Biology students answer comprehension questions and then exercise...

Whatever you do in life, always give 100 percent—unless you are donating blood. A video explains how to solve Punnett squares with multiple alleles, in this case blood types. It includes what happens if the wrong type is added,...

For most of history, people did not know what blood did or how it was created, which made the idea of putting blood into a person sound ludicrous. After years of science, and many extremely negative reactions, scientists have found a way...

Teach your class about human blood and explain why donation is so important using the 29th video in a series of 47. Learners explore the basic components of blood, how cuts stop bleeding, and how antigens determine blood types. 

Young scientists learn the importance of knowing blood types and their compatibility. The instructor in the video explains each type of blood and their antigens and antibodies, and then differentiates between AB blood and Rh blood...

Here is a fascinating video that explores the genetic implications of our blood types as humans, how we can determine an individual's blood type based on cell alleles, the RH factor, and how blood types can mean life or death for those...

Students role-play a scenario in which a car crash patient is inadvertently given the wrong blood type during a transfusion. They perform blood typing and explore the genetics behind ABO and RH blood types using simulated blood.
