My Project
Dissections are an essential part of life science, and it was important for me to provide this opportunity to middle school students as a fun introduction to the process of dissection. Experimenting with dissection earlier in school helps prepare students for more challenging studies in high school and college, should they choose to pursue the field. Plus, it makes for a really good school memory. I want my students to look back and say, “When I was in middle school, I got to dissect a squid!”
These durable stainless steel tools encased in a protective plastic case will provide my students with the dissection tools needed to perform dissections on clams, worms, sea stars, urchins, squid, and owl pellets, and more.
Dissections help students learn about the internal structures of plants and animals. Students learn how the tissues and organs are interrelated and provides students an appreciation of the complexity of organisms in a hands-on learning STEM environment. he hands-on approach of dissection allows students to see, touch and explore the various organs. Seeing organs and understanding how they work within a single animal may strengthen students’ comprehension of biological systems. When applied to their own bodies, this may then translate to a greater understanding of human biology.
