First, I do dissections with real specimens. However, I have had my fair share of squeamish students. My husband and grandson, Paul, are extremely squeamish. We used Owl Brand Discovery Toys’ piranha and frog. Both Rob and Paul were green cutting up synthetic toys. While I don’t understand why they don’t think dissections are cool, I pick my battles. Right now, Good Will online has two simulated dissection kits. I’ll continue to teach with dissections; if your teen just can’t do dissections with specimens, buy the toys.
