Lab: Blood, Immunity & You

Discover the science flowing through your veins! In this engaging, hands-on biology lab, students in grades 7–12 will explore the composition of blood, the body’s immune defenses, and the remarkable systems that keep us alive and healthy.

Students will investigate the major components of blood, including red blood cells that transport oxygen, white blood cells that help defend the body against infection, platelets that assist with clotting, and plasma, the liquid that carries cells and other substances throughout the body.

What Will Students Discover?

• The Science of Blood: Examine the components of blood and learn how each contributes to the body’s survival.

• Red Blood Cells: Discover how hemoglobin carries oxygen and why these specialized cells are essential to life.

• White Blood Cells & Immunity: Explore how the immune system recognizes and responds to pathogens, including the roles of different white blood cells, antibodies, and immune memory.
