My Project
"What do we get to dissect this year?" I get this question every year, especially from my AP students. It's my goal for students to have hands-on experiences dissecting major organs of the body, as well as whole specimens.
This project focuses on some of the major organs: the heart, the brain, the kidney, and the eye.
Students will explore the nervous, sensory, cardiovascular, and urinary systems through a variety of hands-on activities. One of these activities for each system is a dissection. After each dissection, students will engage in a biomedical engineering challenge where they must unblock an artery, prevent sports-related eye and head injuries, and filter waste products.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
