Virtual Frog Dissection Lab

Hello 8th graders,

Because we are human and humane, we will be doing a virtual frog dissection today. If you would like to read about the plight of frogs in the world and some discussion of why it is best to go with virtual dissection, try here: http://pcrm.org/research/edtraining/dissectionalt
There are many more, but this is concise and factual.

YOU WILL NEED YOUR HEADPHONES.
To begin today's lab, you will visit the following link and work your way through the exercise, one video and page at a time. Some of the information is probably known to you. When you get to the virtual exercise, do it! http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/virtual_labs/BL_16/BL_16.html

If you want to feel like you've really poked around inside a dead frog, try this link:

It uses a real frog for the demonstrations.

There will be a frog quiz tomorrow, so be sure to take notes on structures and procedures.

Have fun!
