Frog Dissection BioKit

Product Details Introduce students to basic vertebrate anatomy through the dissection of a popular preserved specimen, the frog. As a pre-lab, students watch a phenomenon video and answer related questions to activate their prior knowledge. During the lab dissection, students explore the external and internal anatomy of the frog by body system. They locate key structures, relate structure to function, and note adaptations as they progress. A provided glossary and post lab assessment questions help reinforce learning. This classroom kit is designed for a class of 30. It includes 15 Carolina's Perfect Solution plain frogs (no injection), 15 disposable dissecting trays, 15 self-locking storage bags, and a comprehensive teachers manual with reproducible student guide. The teacher's manual contains procedural and preparation instructions, safety information, and more. The student guide provides step-by-step dissection instructions, labeled color photographs and illustrations, a prelab, assessment questions, and a glossary. Time Requirement Teacher prep, 10 minutes. Prelab, 30 minutes. Dissection, 60-90 minutes (or can be divided into multiple class periods). Assessment, 45-60 minutes. Prelab and Assessment can be completed as homework. Note: Carolinas Wetting Solution (items #220120A and #220121A) is recommended if completing dissection over multiple days. Digital Resources Includes 1-year access to digital resources that support 3-dimensional instruction for NGSS. Digital resources may include a teacher manual and student guide, pre-lab activities and setup videos, phenomenon videos, simulations, and post-lab analysis and assessments.
