Students will watch a blood type video (10:45) and fill out the video guide then create a paper slide video to explain the concepts of blood typing and transfusions including information on the universal donor and the universal recipient. |
18) Breakdown the roles of antigens and antibodies in the blood while explaining the ABO system and Rh classification system. In a lab setting with simulated blood, determine the ABO and Rh of samples with an explanation of results including a description of cross-matching and the causes and possible outcomes of a transfusion reaction. |

Blood Types Student Materials
- Watch the Bozeman Science Blood Types video here and fill in this guided reading sheet.
- The two main categories of blood typing covered in this video are _________ typing and Rh factor typing.
- When we talk about blood types we are talking about _________ that are found on the surface of the erythrocyte.
- A blood has ___antigens and ___ antibodies
- B blood has __ antigens and ___ antibodies.
- AB blood has ___antigens and ___ antibodies.
- O blood has __ antigens ___antibodies.
- If a person with type A blood (remember it contains A antigens & B antibodies) is given a transfusion of O blood, what happens?
- If that same person gets a transfusion of B blood, what happens?
- Why is getting the wrong type of blood dangerous?
- If a person with AB blood (remember it contains both A antigens & B antigens but no antibodies) is given a transfusion of B blood, what happens?
- What is a universal recipient? What blood type is the universal recipient?
- Stop the video at 4:15
- Fill in the following chart and indicate the universal donor and universal recipient:
