Middle School STEM Science Lab/Activity Planner
Name of Lab/Activity: Blood Typing Web Activity
Grade:
7
California Science Standard(s): (please copy and paste standards taught during this lesson)
 2b: Students know sexual reproduction produces offspring that inherit half their genes from
each parent.
 2d: Students know the two copies (or alleles) of the gene may or may not be identical, and
one may be dominant in determining the phenotype while the other is recessive.
Learning Objective/Goal:
 The student will be able to describe how an offspring can have a different phenotype
than its parents.
 The student will be able to explain how alleles can be codominant.
Language Objective/Goal: (based on California Common Core Standards)
 Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a
version of that information that is expressed visually.
 Write informative/explanatory texts, including the narration of historical events,
scientific procedures/experiments, or technical processes.
Materials & Resources:
 Laptop with internet access
 Student copies of readings and formative assessment
Procedure:
1st Class Period
Part 1: Introduction to “codominance” with Punnett
Square Practice
Teaching Notes: (include timing)
2 Teaching Periods
1st Class Period
Part 1: Introduction to “codominance”
with Punnett Square Practice (30 min)
Anticipatory Set: Basic Punnett Square Practice.
Tie in: Punnett Square, parents can have different
phenotype than offspring (carrier situation)
Main Point: Codominance -> both
Active Partic: Practice Punnett Squares that illustrate
codominance
Tie In: Blood Types are an example of codominance
Part 2: In class, Blood Typing tutorial 1
Project how to access tutorial
Model, lead completing the tutorial
Introduce homework reading.
Part 2: In class, Blood Typing tutorial
1 (25 min)
-either on latops or printed
Part 3: Homework, Blood Typing tutorials 2 & 3
Provide students with labeling packet
Part 3: Homework, Blood Typing
tutorials 2 & 3
This project has been made possible in part by a grant from the Texas Instruments
Community Fund, an advised fund of Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

If students do not have internet
access at home, provide those
students with a hard copy of the
tutorials
2nd Class Period
Part 4: In class, Blood Typing Web
Activity (55 min)
2nd
Class Period
Part 4: In class, Blood Typing Web Activity
Math Connection:
Punnett Squares (Probabilty and ratios)
Teaching Notes:
Technology Extension of Learning:
Web-based activity using individual
computers/laptops with internet access
Teaching Notes:
Check ahead of time that the laptops
can play the game.

Formative Assessment: (please attach a copy)
1. Homework Tutorials
2. Quiz:
 Write about their experience of being able to
select the correct blood type to be transfused to a
patient.
 Accurately identify which blood type to be
transfused into patients with identified blood
types.
Teaching Notes:
Strategies for EL and Special Needs Students:
Vocabulary:
Graphic organizers, homework – labeling, use of
Codominance, blood type, antigens,
images, modeling, and charts of compatible blood
antibody
types
Alignment in science unit: (Brief description of lessons taught prior to & after this lab/activity)
Unit: Genetics
Prior knowledge/lessons: Punnett Squares, genotype, phenotype, dominant, recessive,
alleles, traits, codominant textbook reading
Post knowledge/lessons: What is and isn’t inheritable? – Crazy Adaptations Lab
Brief description of lessons taught after this lab/activity:
Crazy Adaptations: Lab in which students will identify possible genotypes and phenotypes of
an imaginery creature, and identify if a trait is an inheritable adaptation.
