Dissection Labs
Dissection Labs
Friday, October 2
9:30-11:30 - Frog and Earthworm - $45 (Class is currently full. Let me know if you are interested. I will add another session if I get enough interest.)
12:30-2:30 - Cow eye and Crayfish - $45 (Class is currently full. Let me know if you are interested. I will add another session if I get enough interest.)
(Students who take both classes on 10/2/26 are welcome to stay and eat lunch during the 1-hour break.)
Friday, October 9 - One seat open as of 9/8/26
9:30-11:30 - Rat - $60
Friday, October 16 (Class is currently full. Let me know if you are interested. I will add another session if I get enough interest.)
9:30-11:30 - Fetal Pig - $70
If there is interest, I will add more classes on 10/9 and 10/16.
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).
Students will have their own specimens to dissect along with their own set of dissection tools to use. Students will receive diagrams they can fill out at home to reinforce what they have observed during the dissection. Dissection classes are for grades 4 and up, however, 3rd graders and younger will be admitted to class by special permission and a parent must attend and assist them if needed. Students must be mature, willing and able to follow detailed instructions, able to focus for 2 hours, and have excellent fine motor skills (they will be using a very sharp scalpel and scissors).
For questions or to register, call Lisa at 530-313-3789 or email your child's name, grade, charter school name, and your name/phone number to [email protected]. Registration is open until the day before the class if there is space and spare specimens.

Class Info:
- Location: Rescue - outdoors - Outdoor classes require much more flexibility than indoor classes since we have to work around the weather. Please understand that I might need to cancel a class on the morning of class and make it up another day. I will refund the fee if you can't make it to the makeup class.
- If class size minimum isn't met, class may be cancelled.
- Don't wait to sign up, I have to order specimens well in advance!
- When class is confirmed, a 3-week non-refundable advanced payment is required for all classes since I have to order specimens well in advance. If your child is unable to attend and I am able to fill the spot with another student, I will refund your payment.
- If I do not have a voucher/PO when it is time for me to order specimens, I require payment via check/cash/Venmo/Zelle. I will refund your out-of-pocket payment when I receive your voucher/PO.
- I am a vendor with Clarksville, Cottonwood, Feather River, South Sutter, American River Charter School, Horizon, Visions, and Pacific Charter Institute (Heritage Peak, Sutter Peak, Rio Valley, & Valley View). To order a voucher/PO, look for "Lisa Hindmarsh" or "Hands-On Science" in your charter school's ordering system.
