LESSON STRUCTURE

Lesson Structure:
Day One


The students will be broken up into pairs and the class will be in the computer lab. The students will receive a Handout that was previously discussed in class. Each pair will sit in front of a computer which would already be on and have the website up. The next step would be for the students to click on the DEMO version and choose a person within the pairs start the virtual dissection.


Once the students have gone through the dissection once, the other partner would have a chance to do the virtual dissection. The students will be filling out their handout during this part of the dissection(FROG DISSECTION WORKSHEET). They will be filling out the last two pages (pg 6-7) within the packet. These pages have a picture of the frog and the students will answer the following questions:


1. On your frog diagram, label the major external body parts (parts of the face, abdomen, thorax, limbs and digits).
-Mark with a circle the location the pins should go to secure the animal during a dissection.
- Using a symbol, suggest which tool would make incisions, and draw a dotted line along the lines of incision.


2. On your frog diagram, label the major internal organs identified in your online dissection, and briefly state the role of each organ.
