Dissection Labs
Dissection Labs
No dissections will be offered Spring 2025.
Fall 2025 Dissection dates will be posted April 2025
Grades 4-12 (I will accept younger students if a parent attends with them.)
One 2-hour session
Location: Rescue - outdoor - Outdoor classes require much more flexibility than indoor classes. We will 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.
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 and 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 phone number to [email protected]. Registration is open until the day before the class if there is space and spare specimens.

Class Info:
- Location: Outdoor class at my home in Rescue. Since we are at the mercy of the weather, classes may be rescheduled.
- If class size minimum isn't met, class may be cancelled.
- Don't wait to sign up, I have to order specimens 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. I will refund your private payment when I receive your voucher/PO.
- I am a vendor with Horizon, Visions, Clarksville, The Cottonwood School, Feather River, South Sutter, American River Charter School, 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.
