It occurred to me you could do a nice dissection series with seafood and then eat the specimens after. Use a kitchen knife and dinner plate. Your teen may not object to dissections you plan to eat. Here is the post with the clam dissection ideas and links. Here are instructions for dissecting fresh or frozen (thawed) squid. Here is a squid dissection worksheet and answer key. Here is a squid anatomy coloring page. Here is a virtual squid dissection. Make and label an origami squid. I found toilet paper roll squids. But, ew...
You could dissect fresh oysters or fresh mussels instead of clams. They are all bivalves. Substitute a prawn for the crayfish dissection. Here are study notes for the prawn dissection. Here is a simplified shrimp anatomy coloring sheet. Stretch your seafood feast and buy both prawns and shrimp for comparison. Make sketches of both. Warning! Your teen may not want to eat after identifying the anatomical parts for dinner.
