#FROG DISSECTION KITS SOFTWARE#
The software is designed for grades 7 through 12, plus advanced placement biology students. As a result, every dissection is different, reflecting each student's individual work. "V-Frog, which operates on a personal computer using a standard mouse, actually simulates nearly unlimited manipulation of specimen tissue. All these images belong to Tactus Technologies. Tactus Technologies has developed the V-Frog software during the last three years and is now selling it (see the bottom of this post). The kit contains four preserved specimens (frog, perch, earthworm and crayfish), a 7-piece dissection tool set, a 10-pack of T-pins, a frog dissection guide, and an 11' x 7' x 1 ½' aluminum dissection pan. Learning opportunities are all around us, but it usually requires that we slow down and explore the moment fully.All the images above have been picked from various pages of the Tactus Technologies website. This general biology dissection kit contains your most commonly dissected specimens, and can be used with just about any biology program. Closely examine the gills and talk about how fish breathe differently than land animals. When it’s time to clean the day’s catch – slow the process down and talk about which parts are which and how they all do their part to keep the fish alive. In closing, I’d also like to point out that a fishing trip can also be an opportune moment to explore how the insides of fish are different from the insides of us (or other mammals). (outside, picnic table- you’ll be glad I said so). Specimens, tools and implements, the whole works. Not for the faint of heart, or stomach.ĥ – Full, hands on kit for dissection can be ordered from. Be careful, they offer more than just frog dissection if you search broader.

Try a few and choose the one that fits your (and your child’s) comfort level.Ĥ – Youtube. You’ll find multiple sites that have a virtual dissection experience.
We actually did this kit with friends as a New Year’s Eve activity for the kids (to rave reviews).ģ – Just google frog dissection. Very accurate simulation of the dissection experience without the gross-factor. Using the provided tools and dissection table Dissect-It Frog Lab simulates the experience and wonder of scientific dissection. You’ll need sharp colored pencils for these, but you will learn the parts and processes of the inner workings of just about everything.Ģ – Jello- like frog dissection kit (Smithsonian frog lab). A quick search on their website will bring up Human Anatomy, Biology and Zoology. What is in each individual kit 2.5- 3 Preserved Frog Specimen (in non-toxic holding solution) Disposable Dissection Tray Complete Dissection Guide. And I recommend doing any actual dissection in the summer months, out at the picnic table!ġ - There are high level ‘coloring’ books (high school/college lab workbook caliber) available from Rainbow Resources.
#FROG DISSECTION KITS FULL#
Even if you decide to go all out with a full blown dissection, you might do well to start with one of the other options as a warm up. But there are some less noxious options, and I thought I’d share some of those here. I don’t know of many moms who were terribly gung-ho to jump into this particular activity. You can interactively dissect a (digitized) frog named Fluffy, and play the Virtual Frog Builder Game. By Kim Jaworski, Homeschool Resource SpecialistĭISSECTION- This word conjurs up images of frogs or worse, and even the smell of formaldehyde for most of us. This award-winning interactive program is part of the 'Whole Frog' project. Includes: dissection table, tools, and complete skeletal structure and full set of organs for the frog as well as two refill gel kits for more dissecting.
