ALDON Forensic Blood Typing Kit — Distance Learning STEM Lab

Hands-on forensic science, safely delivered for distance learning

ALDON's Forensic Blood Typing Kit brings an engaging, classroom-grade exploration of blood typing and evidence analysis into both in-person and remote learning environments. Using Innovating Science simulated blood, students observe color-coded materials and practice basic testing techniques in a controlled, safe setup. This kit is designed to help learners connect chemistry concepts with investigative reasoning, without relying on real samples or medical claims.

What you get and how it works

• Four simulated blood samples: victim, suspect 1, suspect 2, and crime scene — each 3 mL for realistic handling
• One ABO/Rh anti-sera set (3 mL per antibody) to practice typing procedures
• Eight blood typing trays and a package of mixing sticks for organized workflows
• Instruction manual with worksheets designed to support two groups and remote collaboration

Learning experiences you can expect

This activity introduces learners to the role of a forensic scientist in a hypothetical case and invites them to examine basic chemical properties related to blood typing. Students discuss results, compare data between groups, and consider how evidence can influence conclusions in a non-diagnostic, educational context.

• Hands-on testing methods that illustrate core concepts in a safe, supervised setting
• Opportunities to compare outcomes across groups and discuss plausible scenarios
• Clear emphasis on inquiry, interpretation, and scientific reasoning rather than real-world diagnoses
• Remote-friendly design with step-by-step guidance and assessment prompts

Why this kit stands out for today’s classrooms

The ALDON kit is built for flexibility, delivering a complete remote learning experience with all required materials included. It supports two-group collaboration, scales from individual to small-team activities, and helps students build confidence in handling data, drawing evidence-based conclusions, and communicating results clearly. While outcomes may vary by student, the activities are structured to foster curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking in a safe, educational context.
