This course is perfect for learners curious about the internal working of animals. Beneath the surface of animals big and small are surprisingly complex specializations, as well as common structures of body systems. Learners will make paper models of: sponge, clam, starfish, squid, shark; grasshopper, snake, rat, pigeon and sea gull. These models are not typical paper diagrams, they will layer in the body systems: reproductive, digestive, respiratory. They will view cut-away sections showing nervous system, circulatory, skeletal and muscular systems. External features mimic actual animal, they will cut external layers allowing them to view internal organs as with an actual specimen (animal insides). By studying different animals in this survey course, learners will gain a deeper understanding of how living animals....live and function. It is nothing short of fascinating! For example - a sponge: It just sits there, sucking in and pumping out sea water all day, easy. What is complicated about that? Did you know sponges - seemingly simple, have layers of anatomy, and different kinds of microscopic cells? Insects are everywhere - do you know how they eat/ how their mouth works? (Hint: We will be making a model that is the grasshopper head by itself! How do animals without teeth eat? Are animal body systems all the same? How can animal body systems help me understand human body systems? We will go on a journey studying animals small to large, interweaving study of human systems as we go - because if anatomy were a language, the language we are most familiar with is human anatomy! Each animal study will begin with overview of animal, external and internal anatomy. Learner choice allows learners to choose additional animals to be studied, and further study of questions learners may come upon during the course of study. Class will include lecture and video for animal overview. Putting together models, learners will follow step, by step pictures and spoken instructions. **This is not a dissection course, however if learners are interested in viewing anatomy of real specimen or performing dissection, support and guided video is available upon request.

Metas de aprendizaje
Students will create 3D dissection models of animals.
Students will learn about increasing complexity of specimens as we move from simple to more complex animals
studying the organs of each specimen and contrasting differences.
Students will become familiar with external and internal systems of different animals.
Otros detalles
Orientación para padres
Course involves printing, cutting out pieces and use of a numeric key.
Learners wishing to practice dissection techniques are encouraged to practice dissection on non-animal or food items. Those who choose to may simulate use of dissection tools. Pinning model (specimen) to cardboard and using probe to examine layering of organs.
Note: models are anatomically correct and mimic dissection of preserved specimens. Students interested in seeing real dissection of specimen can go to site given in class.
Lista de útiles escolares
-Print digital files prior to class -Lab notebook/ or white paper -Pen, colored pencils (if coloring model) -Glue stick or glue dot -Optional Dissection supplies: pins, probe (toothpick), scalpel (knife), tweezers, cardboard or Styrofoam trays Fruit with skin: kiwi, grape, cucumber or other choice

I have completed several units of Biology Essentials: Dissection Alternatives and incorporated student feedback to enhance them. The classes include color models, additional step-by-step images, opportunities to practice dissection on non-animal specimens, and pinning modeling exercises. The external and internal parts and their functions are discussed through lecture while students assemble models. These classes showcase the distinct features of each animal and also highlight similarities between animal systems, making for an engaging study.
For a few years, I served as an in-person Biology lab instructor for multiple sections at a local co-op. During my tenure, I guided pupils through dissection exercises featuring real specimens such as crayfish, earthworms, perch, and frogs. I also helped students develop their lab techniques and taught them how to identify hard-to-spot details.
I aim to support your student in building confidence and practical skills through guidance in their studies. Although books have their uses, nothing compares to the benefits of hands-on learning and witnessing the marvels of Biology. My love for Biology stems from its deceptive simplicity, which upon deeper examination reveals a truly astounding complexity.
My area of study is Biology, and I hold a Bachelor of Science degree where I learned about microbiology, histology, and aquatic invertebrates. In my co-op lab classes, I gained hands-on experience with microscopes and learned how to create slides rather than just viewing prepared ones. I am now providing microscope classes through Outschool, where students are encouraged to use their compound or digital microscopes during open lab time. I utilize digital cameras to share my own microscope view, as well as encourage students' to share their microscope view. While I value traditional lab techniques, I also believe that technology can enhance the lab experience when appropriate.
