Dissection is Key!

The Description

With these funds I will...purchase 1 dissection kit , 13 dissection pans, and 50 specimens  from carolina.com.  All of these are needed to complete a dissection in our 9th grade biology classes.


Many of our students wish to study science, engineering, math, and medicine in college and beyond. Dissection is not only a fantastic entry to the skills needed to be successful in upper level science courses, but it is also an incredibly engaging laboratory exercise that sparks the interest of many students, encouraging them to be more involved in their science classes. Our students will be completing their dissections after their state exam, and they are truly looking forward to it!

Back Up Plan

If we don't reach our entire goal we will...purchase as much equipment to complete the dissections as possible!
