Help me give my students the experience of a frog dissection for both the biological and forensic science applications.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mancuso's classroom raised $612
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach in an inner-city school with a 100% poverty level. Our diverse group of students is smart, capable, and interested in conducting more hands-on science projects and learning about the application of science to their real lives. They have promise and drive to learn, but our school lacks the ability to afford supplies that would help them to grow.
My Project
Every year my Forensics classes look forward to a frog dissection. The dissections take place after we complete the unit on autopsy and death. Students apply their newly learned information to conduct an autopsy on the frog, write up an official autopsy sketch and report both internal and external. Then, they create a cause of death for the frog based on their findings. This project ties biology, physiology, and forensic sciences together in a high-interest, hands-on experience.
My students always look forward to determining how Jane frog died and presenting their findings to the class.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
