My Students

Think back to when you were young and you observed that 'thing' that filled you with such amazement and curiosity about the world. That is what I witness as my students do their first dissection.

Who are my students...they are learners that need to get their hands on science.

Reading from the text is not enough for them they need to see, feel and hear science. We are an urban school in a large industrial city. Our school is located in a neighborhood that has seen better days.

My Project

The frog dissection allows my students to observe organ systems and how these systems are interconnected. We spend two months studying the different systems. After studying the organ systems we dissect the frogs for a real world experience and understanding as to how the body systems relate to one another.

After doing the dissection each year there are at least two or so students that make the statement that they want to be doctors.

This lab opens students minds to the possibility of going into the medical field.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
