The Frog is Exposed! The frog dissection is the envy of every science student. This is a bullfrog. The black and white things are eggs in a female. You can also see the yellow fat bodies, ample intestines, the liver and some of the stomach that it partially covers. |

The worm is very interesting The students really love to dissect the earthworm. Even though it is a simple creature, the kids get a kick out of it. |

An empty stomach In about 1 in every 4 stomachs a surprise can be found, usually a beatle. But nothing here. |

The crayfish! The crayfish is a nice dissection. Not too messy like the starfish and lots of nice things to see. They have a little, muscular abdomen or tail, like a little lobster. They can be bought in the grocery, prepared properly, and eaten at home. |

This student shows the intestines The students I had in my lone biology class loved all the
dissections they did. I let them have a little fun. This student
took it up himself to see how long the intestines were. |
Pig Brains! One of my best students took up the task of removing the brain intact. |
