Students design a proportional model of blood out of red gelatin, a plastic bag, and rice. They study the components that make up blood and investigate what happens when the arteries in different scenerios. They work in pairs in order to...

Fifth graders examine how a red blood cell travels throughout the body. Using a model, they recreate the flow of blood through the heart. They also label the lungs and the differece between the blood that enters the heart and the blood...

Fifth graders review the components of blood and write four things they have learned. They view a videodisk related to blood components and create a batch of candy "blood" using terminology including platelets, red blood cells, white...

Students clarify common misconceptions about cells. They assess initial knowledge of cells and cell behavior, read and discuss an article and consider the role of cell communication in the diseases of diabetes, multiple sclerosis and...

Fifth graders examine how a red blood cell travels throughout the body. Using a model, they follow the flow of blood throughout the entire body. They identify the functions of the lungs and discuss the difference of the blood entering...

Fifth graders watch a short video on blood and complete worksheets on the components of blood. They navigate the Internet to investigate the components of human blood. They complete worksheets with a partner and exchange sheets among...

Ninth graders study facts about human blood and what it is made of.  In this blood composition lesson students divide into groups and complete several activities. 

pupils research blood's components, and use their math skills to recreate a model of whole blood using commonly found food items.

Young scholars examine the cell coats (matrix) of chondrocytes and fibroblasts and observe these cells actively exclude particles which are released around them. They observe the function of the cell membrane as a gatekeeper as it...

Students 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...

Fifth graders study the circulatory system. In this circulatory system, 5th graders participate in five stations with different activities at each station. Students discuss their findings from each station.

Students examine the different parts of blood.  In this human blood lesson students work in groups and identify parts of blood and construct a model of human blood. 

Eighth graders use a large Punnett Square and infer how genes determine blood types.  In this blood type lesson students predict blood types and demonstrate how Punnett Squares are related to genes and chromosomes. 

Learners 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 the facts of blood and discuss the different parts of blood and their function. They discover different people have different blood types and where they can go to donate blood.

Learners view a simple ABO blood system for the introduction of this subject using concrete models of eythrocytes (red blood cells, or RBC's), antigens, and antibodies. They can physically see the antigens that result from certain...

Students explore the process of translation. They determine the correct sequencing and present their strands to the class. In addition, they compare normal red blood cells to sickle cells and complete discussion questions.

Students explore the circulatory system. They participate in media activities to explore blood flow and identify the parts of the circulatory sytem. Students create a model of the circulatory system.

Students observe blood cells under a microscope and make drawings of their observations. They write and act out a short play starring blood cells, antibodies and bacteria to demonstrate fighting infection.

Fifth graders review what they have already gathered about human blood. After reviewing the components of blood, they work together to make their own. Using the internet, they complete a blood web hunt and share their discoveries with...

Students see how eight pairs of triplets are equivalent to part of a gene and control a part of heredity. They comprehend how blood corpuscles manufacture normal hemoglobin. Students already comprehend that genes control the synthesis...

Students explore the use of microscopes and the creation of slides. They practice using, adjusting and viewing with a microscope. they view slides of familiar substances such as blood and fibers. In addition, they create slides using...

Fifth graders study how respiration and circulation are connected.  In this respiratory lesson students complete several activities to better understand heart rate and carbon dioxide in the body. 

Students observe models of the ABO blood system including erythrocytes, antigens, and antibodies. They investigate the antigens that result from certain allele combinations and move antibodies to determine whether agglutination occurs...
