Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My curious young scientists are ready to leap into learning, literally! With your help, we’ll explore the fascinating world of biology through a hands-on, kid-friendly Dissect-It Synthetic Frog Lab.

This project allows my students to experience the excitement of a dissection without using real animals.

These synthetic frogs are safe, mess-free, and reusable—perfect for elementary learners. They provide a realistic look at frog anatomy while encouraging observation, inquiry, and scientific thinking.

Through this lab, students will identify major organs and body systems. They will learn the function of each part inside the frog. They will build vocabulary and scientific curiosity. Also, they will develop confidence using lab tools and following procedures.

By bringing this project to life, you’re giving students a chance to explore life science in a fun, meaningful, and age-appropriate way. It’s a unique opportunity that blends science, discovery, and compassion—no real frogs required!

Thank you for helping my students hop into science with excitement and wonder!
