Clam Dissection

 My Biology kids dissect several specimens, including clams.  A clam is not the most exciting specimen to dissect.  Have your teen compare the anatomy of an earthworm with a clam.   HST sells preserved clams for dissection.  If you have assess to fresh seafood, buy yours from the grocery store.  Here are instructions from the Biology Junction.  Frankly, the clam does not have many parts.  This worksheet has a few questions.  Make sketches.  I like the kids to either sketch or complete coloring pages.  Here is a free Cut and Assemble paper clam.  No offense to Getting Nerdy; their paper clam is too expensive.  Print your paper clam on to cardstock and add the dissection notes, models, questions, etc. to an interactive notebook or digital file.
