Mrs. Wooldrik’s 6th grade science classes are learning about the 8 different types of blood and which ones are the most common. 🩸 The students first made a hypothesis about which type of blood they think they have, and then were able to test their own blood using solutions. The drops that clotted meant they tested positive for that type, and the drops that did not clot meant they tested negative for that type. After all of the 6th graders have tested, they will then graph their results! The students were so excited to be able to run their own test and find out their blood types! 🅰️🅱️🆎🅾️ #cadetpride⚔️
