Sickle Cell Concepts
kit #78
Using GAM-ETO-DISCS® to simulate the genetic transmission of sickle cell anemia, students gain a clearer understanding of the disease.
Student worksheets clearly explain both the effects of the disease and facts about treatment. This Lab-Aid helps clarify several aspects of sickle cell anemia.
All material in this activity for 30 students is reusable and will provide years of use!
- Understand the probability factor in the inheritance of this disease
