Assessment
Learner progress is assessed through the dissection technique during class. No tests are given.Class Experience
Do you have a dissection specimen that you want to dissect but I don't have a group class for? Or would you prefer for your student to have 1-on-1 instruction? Then this is the class for you! In this class, you will dissect the specimen of your choice with me. Please send me a message prior to class letting me know which specimen you would like to dissect as well as whether your student has any prior experience with dissections. Make sure you already have a dissection kit (listed in the Supply List below) as well as your specimen before coming to class. Specimen choices included but are not limited to: earthworm, clam, starfish, crayfish, frog, perch, shark, pig, cow eye, sheep heart, sheep kidney, sheep brain, and cricket. Please send me a message with any questions. Dissection tools are sharp! Your student must be able to maturely handle these tools during class. You will also need to have a clean place to perform the dissection. Some students also prefer to wear gloves while dissecting as well. This class can also accommodate siblings who wish to dissect together.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to name standard dissection tools.
Students will be able to perfect dissection techniques.
Students will be able to observe the internal and external anatomy of the specimen they are dissecting.Other Details
Parental Guidance
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 part of some specimens that students dissect. Though no in-depth discussion of reproduction will occur, these organs are named and their uses are defined during dissection.
Pre-Requisites
Students will be using sharp tools and must be mature enough, in your estimation, to handle them. Eye-hand coordination needs to be developed enough to hold tools. Parental help may be required in your estimation of your student.
Supply List
Dissection kit: There are many places to purchase a dissection kit. I will put a few options below but you may certainly purchase them elsewhere. https://www.homesciencetools.com/product/advanced-dissecting-tools/ https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Biology-Anatomy-Dissecting-Dissection/dp/B017XY1FQS/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1QG89GJNFN5FS&keywords=dissection+kit&qid=1643390276&sprefix=dissection+kit%2Caps%2C494&sr=8-4 You will also need to purchase whatever specimen you choose.

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, 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. Reviews
