Tigers Learn Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy

Help me give my students the specimens that they need to successfully complete the second half of their zoology class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Susan Bender's classroom raised $1,226

This project is fully funded

My Project

The learning that occurs in a dissection is different from the learning that occurs in a lecture or paper-and-pencil setting. Nothing can duplicate the fascination, the sense of discovery, wonder and even awe that students feel when they find real structures in their own specimens

The students enrolled in this class intend to major in Biology when they reach college and need the hands on experience to be prepared for the next steps in their education.

These specimens are sourced from reputable science supply companies and are for educational purposes only.

Ms. Susan Bender Jim Hill High School Grades 9-12
