Celebrating 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 students have expressed a deep hunger for more hands on activities in class.
The goal of this project is to keep my students actively engaged in the learning process.
Through specimen observation and dissection students learn basic frog anatomy and gain a better understanding of this amphibian. The step-by-step procedures and labeled color images help students locate and identify external and internal features of the frog. Many educators strongly feel that there is no substitute for the hands-on, learning experience of dissection. Susan Offner, a former Outstanding Biology Teacher Award recipient, wrote that, "The learning that occurs in a dissection is qualitatively different from the learning that occurs in a lecture or paper-and-pencil setting. No model, no video, no diagram and no movie can duplicate the fascination, the sense of discovery, wonder and even awe that students feel when they find real structures in their own specimens".
