Innovating Science™ Small Group Learning: Genetics Of Blood Types

Description

Blood type, an inherited characteristic, has use in everything from forensic investigations to medical procedures. In this activity, students will learn about the genetics that determine blood type and the possible inheritance patterns and how they express themselves.

• Students will use simulated blood to determine the blood type of four unknown samples and use their results to assist in the resolution of a fictional paternity dispute.
• Kit contains materials for 5 groups.
• Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
• Disciplinary Core Ideas: PS1.A; PS1.B; LS1.A; LS1.B; LS3.A; LS3.B
• Performance Expectations: MS-PS1-2; MS-LS3-2; HS- LS3-1; HS- LS3-3
• Cross Cutting Concepts: Structure and Function; Cause and Effect; Scale, Proportion and Quantity; Science is a Human Endeavor
