After reviewing our invertebrate phyla one last time on Monday, students were ready for their final test on Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday, students were introduced to amphibians. We discussed the anatomy of the frog, and viewed real pictures of organ systems. We focused on the major organs of each body system (circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and urogenital). I demonstrated the frog dissection for students in order to prepare them for Friday's dissection.
The first day of our dissection, Friday, went very well. Most students have opened the frog and are currently examining its digestive system. Students are doing well with the oral "quizzes" that they take after viewing each system. We will continue our explorations on Tuesday, and students will examine and identify the remaining organs. On Wednesday, students will take a "practical" quiz in which they will have to view real organs and identify them. This quiz will be our final one for the year, and will be for EXTRA CREDIT points!!!
