Description
Class Experience
Students will be able to name standard dissection tools. Students will begin to get comfortable using the tools in dissection.
I was a middle school science teach for 10 years and in that time, have lead hundreds of students through many dissections including the hot dog, earthworms, clams, crayfish, and sharks. 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.
None.
At least two hot dogs at room temperature (can be cool but not frozen). A standard dissection kit. I have included the link to Home Science Tools which has a cheap standard kit for $5.60 (at the time of this writing). Amazon also has a couple for approximately $10. I personally recommend Home Science Tools. Not only is that where I purchase all of my dissection specimens but I have found them to be the most cost effective for these items. Students may prefer to have disposable gloves on when dissecting. A clean place to dissect your hot dog specimen.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Learn progress is assessed through the dissection technique....a successful removal of the hot dog casing in one piece. No grades are given.
40 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Student will be using dissection tools that can be sharp. Students must be mature enough in parents decision to utilize these tools during class independently.
