In this multi-day summer camp that meets four times in one week, students aged 8-10 years old will be focusing on a different dissection each day. In class one, we will be get acquainted with our dissection tools and dissect our first specimen.....a hot dog! In class two, we will be dissecting a preserved earthworm which is very similar to the hot dog technique we learned. In class three, we move to a marine animal and dissect a starfish and for our last class, we will culminate with dissecting a clam. Get ready to perfect your dissection technique!

Each class will begin with some information about the animal we will be dissecting and then learners will follow along with the instructor step-by-step as we dissect different organ systems. Class discussion will take place simultaneously during the dissections. Students must already have a dissection kit and will need to purchase the above three preserved specimens prior to the beginning of the summer camp (one earthworm, one starfish, one clam) as well as a hot dog for class one. Please look over the supply list before signing your learner up.

At the end of this summer camp, students will have successfully completed all beginning dissection techniques. 

Supply List: 
Dissection Kit
2 uncooked hot dogs
Preserved earthworm specimen

Preserved clam specimen

Please note, fewer numbers of students may result in a shortened class time.
