During this class we will explore the what makes octopus and squid unique in the animal kingdom. We will learn about their habitats, behavior and anatomy with a live class dissection. Through our dissection we will explore the squid organ systems function and location. We will compare and contrast these structures to other organisms in the animal kingdom. While dissection is not required, students are welcome to dissect their own specimen during the class time. The recording to class will be posted for student reference.
Learning Goals
Upon completion of this course students will be able to:
-Identify internal and external structures and function of squid
-Explain the adaptations for camouflage in squid.
-Identify the characteristics unique to cephalopods
Other Details
Parental Guidance
ADVISORY: Much of class time will be spend exploring the anatomy of the squid. Some learners my be sensitive to these images.
For students to participate in the dissection they will need the following items: a thawed whole squid (*can be purchased a local grocer or bait shop), latex gloves, first aid scissors, sharp paring knife that can be sanitized, and a work space such as a kitchen counter or table. Safe food handling procedures must be followed when working with specimens. Please have all materials ready and available at the beginning of class. Safe knife handling procedures must be followed. Parental guidance is suggested.
*Preserved specimens are not recommended.
Supply List
We will be following Biology Corner's Squid Dissection https://www.biologycorner.com/worksheets/squid_dissection.html
