This project will allow students to investigate various anatomy concepts related to muscles, nerves, cells, and various anatomical structures using the model of squid physiology and anatomy. Students will analyze parts of a squid using microscopes, medical supplies such as tweezers, dissection scissors, etc. and record their observations, which they will then give presentations on. Students in this community have little to no access to medical tools and supplies up until this point, and for careers in healthcare it is imperative that they are exposed to these laboratory skills in a high school learning environment.
