Vein to Vein: A High School Biology Education Program
How can we ensure that blood is available for all those in need and create a safe and sustainable blood supply for our nation?
The effort starts with you. Throughout this program, we have included references to the Next Generation Science Standards, the latest in the field, making it easier for educators to fulfill requirements and complete lesson plans. Through this program, students will develop leadership skills and a growing interest to support our nation’s blood supply.
If you are an educator, this is a turn-key resource for you to implement immediately. We encourage you to work with your local blood center and your school’s representative for blood drives when implementing this program.
For blood center professionals, we have included a complete kit to utilize when collaborating with your local school district, individual school representatives, and internal staff.
Developed through a collaboration of blood centers, an education consultant and international associations representing blood centers, inside this program you will find:
- A comprehensive education program designed to meet Next Generation Science Standards.
- Teacher preparation guide and student education video, creating a foundation for learning.
- Extensive facts, glossary, student activities, career exploration opportunities, and more.
