Methods: In this study, the method of dissection is compared with two common methods of teaching the anatomy of the mammalian eye: watching a video and working with an anatomical model. Consequently, alternatives for dissection in biology lessons are being sought. Experiencing disgust can negatively affect emotional experiences. One such emotion that is particularly common during dissection is disgust. However, the dissection process is often associated with certain (negative) emotions that might hinder successful learning.

Introduction: Dissecting animal organs is a method of biology teaching that offers a direct and authentic view into morphological structures and enables hands-on activity and multisensory experiences. 3Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Institute for Biology Education, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany.2BiProfessional, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany.


Print the following handouts (or your teacher may have given them to you already.)įrog External Anatomy | Frog Dissection | Frog Brain and Leg Dissectionįollow the handouts as you view each gallery and walkthrough. This is still a requirement for those not actually in class and working on the frog. Students in class were required to follow a lab guide, follow the instructions and answer questions. Describe it in thorough detail, explain what it does, where it is located and how you would find it in the frog, you may want to sketch the organ to show its locations in relation to the other organs. Choose one organ that you would find in the body cavity of the frog. What organs are obvious? Which organs may require a more thorough inspection?Ĥ. Describe what you first see when you open the body cavity of the frog. What structures are visible and what are their functions? You may also include drawings.ģ. You may include drawings to explain the technique.Ģ. Describe the procedure you would use to cut the frog to expose the organs to view. To show that you have completed the dissections, answer the following questions, you will turn these questions in to your teacher.ġ. This site requires flash and may not work on all computers. Site 1 - Go to MHHE Virtual Frog Dissection and complete the module. There are many simulations available online, and your first step is to complete two virtual dissections.
