Biology Dissection

The end of the year brings a special type of lab in the biology classes, dissections! In both Mr. Dodrill's and Mrs. Miller's biology classes, students have begun to dissect frogs, rats, and sharks. Students break off into groups and use a guide to dissect the animals and identify body parts. Participating in dissections is important to the biology classes so that students can see an up close and personal example of the things that they have learned throughout the year. After going through the process of dissecting, students are tested on the body parts to reinforce what they have learned. "I don't like dissections at all, but I feel like it's a good for us to do because I've learned a lot through this hands on experience," junior Michelle jones said. The dissections, while important, are not always liked. "I hate it because I think it's disgusting and I want nothing to do with it!" junior Chantelle Jones exclaimed. Others seem to enjoy the dissection labs. "I think dissecting the animals is interesting. It's fascinating to see the insides and see how everything works," junior Emily Spears said.
