The dissection materials will be used by my health core (9th grade) and human physiology(11th and 12th). My students will use the new dissection materials to replace the old kit which has begin to have missing parts. The kit will ensure that each student will be able to have a hands on part to play in the dissection.
This donation will allow students to work through the different body systems in a hands-on, engaging activity. Students will be able to identify and locate body systems as their end of year practical exam. The rat bodies are injected with dyes that will highlight the veins and arteries. This will allow students to see the network of blood vessels that they learned about in the circulatory system. The adult rats have developed musculature and contain all body systems similar to humans: reproductive, cardio-vascular, circulatory, excretory, digestive, and nervous systems. Once the bodies have been used, they will be sutured back up using suturing supplies that I have in my classroom. Students can practice their suturing technique and knots while preparing the rats for disposal.
The heart and lung sections will serve as practice dissections for the health core students. While they are going through the cardiovascular system, they will use the dissection to get a concrete example of their anatomy as well as write up a detailed report on functioning of the cardiovascular system.
