Instructional Ideas

  • Allow class members to work with a partner or in small groups to complete the frog dissection
  • Offer the virtual frog dissection as an option for students that feel uncomfortable working with real frogs

Classroom Considerations

  • If you are unable to provide students with Internet-connected devices for viewing the virtual dissection, use a projector and move step by step through the dissection as an entire class
  • Frog specimens and other scientific tools will be required if you plan on performing the actual dissection in class

Pros

  • List of organs describes what they look like, where they are located, and how to remove them
  • The narrated virtual dissection resource offers step-by-step instructions for completing the experiment

Cons
