Donating Types of Blood

For our experiment, we saw what would happen if people with different types of blood or the same donated to each other. To start we had four cups for A, four cups for B, four cups for AB, and four cups for O. This was to represent the types of blood. The cups labeled A had red water in them. The cups labeled B had blue water in them. The cups labeled AB had purple water in them. Lastly, the cups labeled O had clear water in them. The red water represented type A blood. The blue water represented type B blood. The purple water represented type AB blood. Finally the clear water represented type O blood. We also had an eyedropper we took the eyedropper and filled it up with the red water from the cup that had red water in it. Then we filled the eyedropper up with purple water out of the cup that had purple water in it. Next we filled the eyedropper up with blue water from the cup that had blue water in it. Lastly, we filled the eyedropper up with clear water from the cup that had clear water in it. We did this one at a time and each time we put a different color of water into the cups labeled A which had red water in them. Then we did the same thing with the cups labeled B, AB, and O. In this experiment we found out that people with A can donate to people with A or AB blood. They can’t donate to people with B or O. People with b blood can donate to people with B or AB blood, they can’t donate to people with A or O blood. People with AB blood can donate to people who have AB blood, but they can’t donate to anyone else. Type O blood can donate to everyone You could tell if it was safe or not safe if the color changed.
