Join me live for an exciting journey as we unlock the secrets of human blood in this engaging 3-session online course! Over three 45-minute meetings, we’ll explore the anatomy of human blood, dive into the intricacies of ABO blood types, and understand the crucial role of Rh factor proteins. In our interactive sessions, you’ll get hands-on experience with Google Slides and Pear Deck as we master Punnett square crosses for blood types. I’ll keep things lively and fun with dynamic videos and animated clips that make complex concepts easy to understand. We’ll dive into the fascinating process of blood typing with anti-serum and learn how this vital information is used in life-saving blood transfusions. I’ll even demonstrate how you can test your own blood at home using a simple kit. Our course will culminate in an exhilarating online game, where you'll simulate typing a patient’s blood and providing the correct blood transfusions. Get ready to save lives with your newfound knowledge! Join me for three engaging sessions into the wonders of human blood, and become a mini-expert in no time!

Lesson 3:
What's your blood type?
In this lesson, you will be guided through testing your blood type at home with a kit and how to read the results. If the student is testing their own blood, parental supervision required during this lesson. Students will then play a game in which they blood type a patient and then give a blood transfusion. 45 mins online live lesson
