All you ever wanted to know about BLOOD!

I found a wonderful teaching resource called "Red Gold: The Epic Story of Blood" published by PBS. The site is strong in content and interest level delving into blood related topics such as blood composition, circulation, blood typing, donations and more. Students can take a multimedia journey that follows a pint of blood through the transfusion process, learn the basics about blood, as well as trace the history of blood through an interactive timeline. Additionally, there are biographies of the people who have made contributions to the study and use of blood, a glossary, a list of other resources, and a section of informative questions and answers from the experts.

Grade level: 6 - 12. Lesson plans are provided for both midde school and high school levels as well as a 12-page discussion guide

Macromedia Flash Player and RealPlayer are needed to view the animations and video.

Very Cool...check it out!
