Frog Dissection in 7th Grade Science
Article written by student contributor Giuliana Santos
Conrady 7th grade students learned about frog dissection with Mrs.Buckley, Ms.Pittos, and Dr.Draguesku. Classroom students performed the frog dissection to learn about frog organs and body, and to compare their organs to human body organs. They do this by observing the frog and cutting it open based on a diagram put on the board. The students' opinions on the frog dissection was fifty/fifty. Some of the students found the Frog Dissection great and some found it disturbing.
