In this two-day advanced dissection course, students will learn to dissect a dogfish shark specimen following along step-by-step with the teacher on their own shark specimen.
Class experience
In this two-day class, students will perform an advanced dissection of a shark specimen, specifically, the dogfish shark. Dissection is a tool used in life sciences and biology to help students understand different species anatomy, as well as their own anatomy and physiology. This class is advanced. You must have either taken intermediate dissection classes of mine or message me with your prior dissection experience. This is NOT a class for a novice. In this dissection, learners will have...
Students will be able to name standard dissection tools and placement of tools Students will be able to perfect advanced dissection techniques. Students will be able to observe the internal and external anatomy of a cartilaginous shark specimen.
I was a middle school science teacher for 10 years and in that time, have lead hundreds of students through many dissections including the hot dog, earthworms, clams, crayfish, sharks, and pigs. In my college Zoology class, I was the only student to successfully extract the entire spinal nerve of a crayfish that the professor had ever had! I find dissections fascinating and a good stepping stone for any student interested in anatomy, physiology, zoology, or college sciences.
Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
Learner progress is assessed throughout class. It is very helpful if a student's camera is able to be moved so that the instructor can visualize their progress.Grades Offered
Shark Specimen (22-27" plain $18) https://www.homesciencetools.com/product/shark-dogfish-22-27-plain/ Dissection kit Safety wear (gloves, glasses/goggles, mask) Clean place to dissect
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Dissection tools are sharp and as such, your student must be mature enough to handle them on their own by your estimation. Reproductive organs are also a large organ system of the shark and will be part of the anatomy that students dissect. Students will be able to determine the sex of their specimen. Please make sure your student is mature enough to handle naming and dissecting these organs. Safety wear is required; please have gloves and safety glasses or goggles available. Masks may also be worn if your learner would like. These specimens are preserved in a chemical fluid to allow for dissection. You will want to wash your work area and hands after class thoroughly.
