We reviewed abo/rh blood typing and worked on question. The most important thing is that students can see a blood type (ex, A+) and recognize the anitgens on the red blood cell and the antibodies that are floating in the plasma (A+ blood has anitgen A and Rh, and anitbody B)

After we started work on learning the parts of the heart. Students watched a brain pop and recieved a worksheet that asked them to label the heart. Students are expected to have the heart labeled for Thursday.

Since we do not have class on Friday- our double period day - we will be doing a lot of work in a short time so be prepared.
