The frogs I am requesting will be used by the 7th grade students to explore biology through dissections. Science is always more impactful and engaging when it offers hands on explorations that correlate with learning. This year my students will be learning about organ systems within the human body. The opportunity to perform a dissection and observe and label the organ systems they find in a hands-on exploration helps to make their lesson engaging and impactful. It also helps them to relate the information they learn about each system to their findings.
My students are currently attending school under a hybrid plan that allows them to attend face to face instruction two days a week and virtual learning three days a week. To allow student to safely work together on their dissection the students will be working with a partner on their two face to face days to complete their dissections and diagrams in leu of small groups. The dissections will take place over a four-day period to allow the first group of students to conduct the dissections on their face to face days. The second group will complete their dissections on their face to face instruction days. The students will be working in pairs to first label the exterior parts of their frogs. Then, they will be dissecting the frogs and looking for specific organs and organ systems. This will allow them to see and touch the systems they are learning about as a final for our unit on organs and organ systems.
