Are you planning to type blood? There are several options. First, look at this Infograph about blood types; it’s one of the clearest images explaining different blood types. Now for blood type labs. First, many families buy Eldoncard blood test kits and call it a day. I have.
But, the Eldoncard tests are expensive. I want the class to understand blood typing tests before we break out the expensive kit. The answer is to first use simulated or fake blood test labs or kits. Here is a simple blood test lab; it requires milk, food coloring, and vinegar. Here are the teacher’s notes for the lab. I like this brand of simulated blood typing kits. The kit’s instructions are similar to Flinn’s Blood Testing instructions. You add drops of anti-sera to fake blood.
Do you teach chemistry? You may have some of these precipitates on hand to make this lab version of simulated blood. Fancy.
