Hematology Research: Comparing Normal and Abnormal Blood
by Joshua Farr
This lesson has students create a unique graphical visual of the components of blood within a vial. These components of blood are then researched and used as a control for accomplishing two collaborative tasks. First, students will form small collaborative groups and perform microscopy on prepared blood slides to not only practice microscope techniques, but better visualize the components of blood. This will require sketching and discussion. Second, students will select a blood disorder to research and create a comparison vial of blood regarding any changes in the percentages of parts of blood and create 3 slides on their research. Their slide work will be compiled with other groups in class and presented in small round table discussions. Students will be required to write about normal and abnormal blood conditions as an assessment.
