The benefits of this program in your classroom are the hands-on activities used to teach the kids about blood and the organs in the body. These activities supplement what is already being taught in the classroom and aid in the child’s knowledge and retention of this material.
High School
LifeSouth understands the value of the teacher’s face time with his or her students. This program was put together by a former teacher with the understanding of the need for a program that aides the teacher in the relay of the information being taught in the classroom. LifeSouth prides itself in the supplementation of what is being taught in the classroom by focusing on the science curriculum taught in Life Science and Health Science classrooms. LifeSouth’s I am the Donation Generation program teaches about the function of blood and organ systems; discusses the function of bone marrow and cord blood along with the issues surrounding stem cell therapy; and illnesses that can be cured through the 5 donation procedures. LifeSouth’s I am the Donation Generation education program also provides an ABO typing lab that teaches students about antigens and antibodies that determine our blood type.
The benefits of this program in your classroom are the hands-on activities used to teach the kids about blood and the organs in the body. These activities provide an opportunity for high school students to experience the material learned in the classroom in a new way and therefore giving the students additional opportunity to absorb the content.
