DISSECTION

ALL BIOLOGY CLASSES WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISSECT VARIOUS SPECIMENS FROM THE ANIMAL KINGDOM BEGINNING IN MAY 2010.  STUDENTS WILL BE GIVEN A "DISSECTION PARTICIPATION FORM" TO TAKE HOME AND REVIEW WITH THEIR PARENTS, GET APPROPRIATE SIGNATURES, AND RETURN TO ME. 

STUDENTS MAY ALSO "OPT-OUT" OF PERFORMING DISSECTION IN CLASS.  IN THAT CASE, THEY WILL USE ON-LINE TUTORIALS AND QUIZZES TO BE GRADED ON THE SAME SPECIMENS AS THEIR CLASSMATES.

BELOW IS A LIST OF SPECIMENS EACH CLASS WILL BE WORKING ON:

AP BIOLOGY: SHEEP HEART, SHARK, CAT, FETAL HORSE 

ADVANCED BIOLOGY:  BULLFROG, RAT, BAT, FERRET, FETAL PIG, CAT

COLLEGE PREP BIOLOGY:  GRASSHOPPER, CRAYFISH, PERCH, BULLFROG

I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED SOME FANTASTIC WEBSITES FROM VETERINARY SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE THAT OUR STUDENTS CAN VIEW IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO LEARN THE PROPER INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ANATOMY OF EACH SPECIMEN.

PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.
