5/22

This week was frog week! On Monday, we discussed frog anatomy, and we discussed the functions of a frog's organs. I did a sample dissection for the students on Tuesday, and the students spent the rest of the week in the lab doing their dissection. The students were asked to read through the lab and identify the organs that we discussed earlier in the week. Each lab group had to take an oral quiz after completing each system, and they were required to show me all of the organs that they had learned. The students did a FANTASTIC job overall, and I am quite impressed with their knowledge! The final test of the year will take place on Wednesday of next week and will cover our amphibian notes and frog anatomy notes. Part of the test will be "practical," so students will view and identify the actual frog organs that they learned through their dissection. Students will have time to practice for the "practical" test in class on Tuesday.
