Okay, there are a few more free, virtual dissections available. Don’t apologize if you use a paper dissection or a virtual dissection. Treat the activity like a live dissection. A classic dissection series includes the following specimens: earthworm, clam, starfish, grasshopper, crayfish, perch, and frog. Watch a video, label diagrams, and make observations or sketches. In fact, I think you should combine paper and virtual dissections. Fortify your portfolio with several related activities . Let’s start with the While Frog Project. PBS has several dissection videos with lesson plans. Try Cornell’s All About Bird Anatomy program. Use lessons and worksheets from the Biology Corner with images and videos instead of preserved specimens. Here is the Virtual Rat Dissection; rats are useful because they are mammals. The Science Bank lists free resources (along with paid) for dissections; many are videos. Finally, check out Animal Science Image Gallery. Take a look below at Painting Horses. What a cool idea to demonstrate a teen’s knowledge of horse anatomy. You may have to discourage your kiddo from shaving the cat in order to paint its anatomy.
