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
Hands-on scientific experiences like animal dissections and viewing samples under a microscope make the things that students are learning about real. They can identify the unseen parts and make connections from diagrams and textbooks to actual living things as they explore zoology. Using scientific practices alongside scientific concepts guide students into feeling like a scientist. Experiencing high-level analysis and exploration of the different Phylum through regular comparison of anatomy and physiology will help students understand the intricate similarities and differences that are found in animals.
Dissection can provide one of the most memorable and instructive units in a school zoology course.
Along with microscope slides, dissection can also help students learn about the internal structures of animals, how the tissues and organs are interrelated and give students an appreciation of the complexity of organisms in a hands-on learning environment.
I want to give my students a learning experience that builds their scientific skills and challenges them to look deeper and explore further. I believe that the opportunity to touch and compare different organisms is vital to that development.
