Dissection Labs
Rescue
Grades K-12
One 2-hour session
Students will dive into the unexpected contents of a frog's stomach, marvel at the beauty of the tapetum lucidum in a cow's eye, feel a crayfish's stomach "teeth", learn about their own body systems by dissecting a rat or a fetal pig, and much more. Super gross, but super fun and interesting! In the dissection lab, students will explore the internal and external structures of specimens (fetal pig, rat, frog/earthworm, crayfish/cow eye, or perch/grasshopper). Students will have their own specimens to dissect along with their own set of dissection tools to use and may label diagrams to reinforce what they have observed during the dissection. Most dissection classes are for grades 4 and up, however, attendance is at the instructor's discretion. 3rd graders will be admitted to 4th grade and up classes by special permission. Students must be mature, willing and able to follow detailed instructions and focus for 2 hours, and have excellent fine motor skills (they will be using a very sharp scalpel and scissors). I'm also offering a Mommy and Me dissection class for 3rd grade and below with a parent helping with the dissection.
