My Students

Did you dissect a frog in school? If you did, then you know it's a memory and event that is not easily forgotten. I want to give my students the same meaningful opportunity by dissecting frogs in my class.

The majority of my 100 students come from low-income households, are on free and reduced lunches, and represent many different ethnic groups.

Overall, despite the daily challenges they face, they are eager to learn. They love to take part in projects and working with their peers to discover many new scientific concepts. Our school is a Title 1 school that provides our students with many great programs and support. However, funding for science labs is unfortunately scarce.

My Project

We need preserved frog specimens, gloves, and aprons that will allow them to experience the great learning opportunity of dissection. These materials would make an immense difference in my students' learning. Our curriculum takes us through an animal unit and then a human body unit. Unfortunately, with our limited funding, these are topics that are very difficult for many kids to fully comprehend due to the lack of interactive materials we are able to provide. With the materials requested my students would be able to have hands on learning that wouldn't be available other wise. Dissection specimens would provide us with models for students to identify adaptations in animals, observe organ systems, and view structures similar to humans. Being able to dissect their own frog and see first hand what all is inside an organism would give my students a great perspective and wonder of the inner workings of living things.

This project means so much to me because as a science educator I know the importance of making science real and relatable to my students.

I truly believe dissection is a great way to engage and excite my students to be involved in the learning process, and to see how the material applies to their lives. This project would give my students an experience they will never forget, and provide them with an opportunity they would not have otherwise.
