The following project has been created to enhance our Biology and Anatomy and Physiology program through hands-on, dissection-based, inquiry labs. The project will allow 9th-12th grade students to learn the skills of dissection while exploring and studying the components of the human body utilizing preserved animals. The laboratory and dissections will also be used to test the students knowledge using a 'lab practical' environment. Currently, the school's laboratory does not have the proper supplies or funding to purchasing preserved animals for use in our Anatomy program. I would love to share this educational experience with our future doctors, nurses, and health care workers without requesting funding from our students, given their extremely diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, this would allow students to experience lab activities that they were not able to experience last year due to COVID. This project will allow students to take the information learned in their textbooks, and become accustomed to utilizing the tools and techniques of dissection, while locating the same studied structures within real-life organisms. This project teaches students that dissecting is an extreme skill, helps them realize that the real structures are not exactly as they are displayed in the textbook, and allows them to experience lab practicals (tests) prior to attending college. In addition, the project would address many of the State Standards of Science, including: HS-LS1-2 (Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms) and HS-LS1-3 (Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis - Structure and Function), as well as many other standards. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a complete understanding of Anatomy through classroom and hands-on activities.
