Blood Type Teacher Resources

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 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 evaluate whether...

Here is a sharp presentation on multiple alleles using the classic blood type example. Viewers revisit codominance and dominance and learn that blood type is actually a combination of both. They use Punnett squares to solve blood type...

Does your blood type matter? The video explains the four main blood types and the importance of knowing blood types when performing transfusions. The interactive reviews the information with a quick graphic organizer and questions.

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...

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

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.

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...

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, which...

In this blood type worksheet, learners create a wheel showing blood type, antigens and the genes involved in coding for each blood type. Students use the wheel to answer 16 questions about blood type and they complete a chart with the...

Students list three descriptive characteristics and three functions of DNA, describe two ways that genetics is important in a forensic investigation, and list the four major human blood types.

The genetics of blood types are described in this video by a doctor. Four different types of blood are formed by sugars contributed by your parents. Malaria factors into how genes have been passed on as people with type O blood better...

In this genetics worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given thirty six clues about genetic disorders, genetic inheritance and blood types.

Young scholars explore a map of the worldwide distribution of blood types and observe the patterns.  In this blood type lesson students conduct a lab and determine the geographic distribution of the different blood types and determine a...

Students examine inheritance of blood types.  In the chromosome lesson, students create a model of chromosome and predict the blood type of offspring.

Students explore blood types. In this science investigation lesson, students participate in a classroom simulation that replicates a blood transfusion so that students may note how the 4 blood types interact.

Some alleles share codominance rather than dominant or recessive. The video explains how codominance is determined and what it looks like in animals. Part of the Fuse School Genetics series, it relates the topic to human blood types and...

Students read a text about blood groups and answer such questions as what, where and why regarding a scientific discovery. They complete vocabulary worksheets, comprehension exercises and utilize problem solving skills to decide who...

Learners play the role of science detectives in an activity used to introduce the scientific method and the concept that blood is not identical and is identified by surface markers. Students must identify an unknown sample of "blood" by...

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, height...

In this human blood: microviewer worksheet, students answer questions about blood, red blood cells, white blood cells, phagocytosis, blood type B, fibrin, sickle cells, and infected blood. Students also draw quick sketches of a human...

In this human traits worksheet, students will explore what happens with multiple alleles in humans as it relates to blood typing. Students will fill in a chart and then complete 9 fill in the blank statements.

Young historians view and analyze photos and documents from WWII that are related to blood transfusions and blood plasma. A demonstration of correct and incorrect blood donors visually shows the importance of knowing blood type. After...

In this algebra worksheet, students examine the 4 different blood types, and make a graph deciding which blood types are compatible with each other when it comes to donors. There are 9 questions with an answer key.
