My Project

To wrap up the school year, and put everything the students learned all year together, the life science classes will conclude by dissecting five different species. For one week, each day will encounter a new species and a detailed learning experience as to how that species was comprised into an organism. To actually dissect with fidelity, sharp and specific instruments are required. Also, each year we need a new batch of specimens to dissect. I love for my students to leave my course with the most memorable and educational experience I can offer!
