Amanda really likes biology. However, she doesn’t really like a lot of the experiments. She didn’t like dissecting the eyeball. Today she had to test her blood type and she wasn’t thrilled with having to poke her finger hard enough to bleed. She wanted me to do it and, of course, I said NO! Nathan watched for a few minutes and then he said he thought he better leave (LOL). She did allow me take a few pictures and said I could load them on the blog. So, here we go.

Reading the directions…

Gathering the supplies….
Preparing the solution…

Opening the needle… she’s already starting to get worried….

The needle….

cleaning her finger with alcohol….

Not exactly sure where to poke….. guitar playing calluses might cause a problem (LOL). I told her to poke harder.

OUCH!!! She drew blood that time….

it’s not much blood, but it’s as much as we’re going to get since she will NOT be poking her finger again (LOL)…

mixing….
comparing….
if everything is accurate it looks like this is her type….

Next week she’s supposed to dissect a cow’s heart. I have to remember to call the butcher on Monday!
