Students explore disease caused by bacteria and viruses, how they are transmitted, and how they exert their effects on their hosts. They explain how diseases, such as AIDS, are spread by exponential growth.

In this disease worksheet, students will review the organs associated with the immune system including their specific functions. This worksheet has 10 matching, 8 true or false, and 5 short answer questions.

Learners study laboratory protocol for hemagglutination experiments.

Describes blood typing and explains some information in reference to blood composition.Provides links to resources and a blood typing lab.

This site from the University of Arizona describes how blood type is passed on from parent to child. The tutorial covers the genetics of the ABO blood groups as well as Rh factor. There are even practice problems and blood type calculators!

These cards provide a quick, interactive review of ABO, Rh blood typing science. Good for test preparation.

Use this review to introduce the human ABO system and how blood types are inherited.

Use these cards for a quick review of the facts related to the components of blood.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Do you know what your blood type is? Maybe you have heard people say that they have Type A or Type O blood. Blood type is a way to describe the type of antigens, or...

Visit this site for a great article over blood typing tests. Read about the two types of blood typing tests (ABO and Rh tests), why the tests are done, how they are done, and risk factors. Also, view a chart that shows the compatibility...
