Description
Teaching which blood types are compatible should be more than just having students memorize a chart. Learning the science behind the chart can be complicated but necessary for full comprehension and retention.
This lab begins with a brief overview of antigens and antibodies. Students will use their knowledge to then simulate blood transfusions with each "blood type".
Materials needed to complete the lab are kept to a minimum in order to be cost-effective (cups, food coloring and spoons are all you will need!)

Mix & Match Blood Compatibility Lab
Being half virtual this year, I did not do the "let's experiment" part of this activity. But I will for sure do it next year. The Mix & Match does a great job of explaining the antibody/antigen relationships of blood types.

Awesome activity
Students really enjoyed the activity and I feel like it helped them understand blood compatibility much better using a hands on approach.
