Students love to see and feel animals they never have before especially while learning about them. Most of the time dissections are costly, a waste, and not every student's cup of tea. I would love to have a class where any and all students could experience animals and dive into their anatomy without being grossed out or held back due to cost limitations.
With the invertebrate survey kit, I will use it to show students examples of animals such as sea urchins, flatworms, squid, crawfish, and more.
Animals that many of my students have not had the chance to experience or ever will. This makes my lessons more engaging and memorable.
With the 3D dissection models, I will use these as alternatives to preserved animal dissections. A student being horrified to cut into an animal will no longer be on the sidelines of learning anatomy because they will have paper 3D models that they can cut and color. I will also use these for animals that we cannot purchase but still want students to experience the complexity of the animal.
My goal is to increase the curiosity of my students toward the animals around them.
