Blood Reading - Reading on Blood and Lymph p. 94-96 Blood Types

Blood Types are determined by one factor:

The antigens found on the red blood cell (A, B, and Rh).  These antigens determine the type (A, B, AB, or if not present at all O) and whether it is positive or negative (Rh factor).

Whether you can receive or donate blood safely brings in a third factor of the antibodies found in the plasma.  

If antigens and antibodies of the same type come into contact clotting can occur.

Example Blood Type Card

You will create your own set of Blood Type Cards (8 total)

Side 1 (Front)  - Picture of the red blood cell on it with the correct antigens, antibodies, and Rh Factor.

Side 2 (Back) - List what blood types it can receive safely and which it can not.

You can start to make a list of 10 people you will ask to donate blood in hopes that one will say "yes".  Think of neighbors, family, friends who live close to Yarmouth.  

Here is an example of a sample donor letter to send to your selected 10 donors.

Bioscience of Maine (BAM) is hosting Maine Biotech Day
Wednesday, November 9th here at HMS.

We will welcome Dr. Norman Moore from Alere to our 7th grade Science Classes.

Here is some information on Dr. Moore.

Here is some information on Alere.

“We are establishing Maine BioScience Day to create lasting interaction and cooperation between

industry, researchers, teachers, and students. The Bioscience Association of Maine and our member

companies are one helping hand to nurture our students and create awareness about the incredible

opportunities for future careers that are waiting for them as soon as they graduate high school or

college. The “jobs of tomorrow” are already here and waiting for them, and we hope to help show our

students how the science they learn in school prepares them for a very rewarding career, whether it is

as a scientist, engineer, accountant, software programmer, or graphic designer” said Bryan Bozsik, President of BAM’s Board of Directors.
