We had a great time with our dissection.  Thank you to Mrs. Garrick, Mrs. Dillon, and Mrs. Simmons for being extra hands and eyeballs during the dissection.  Some of my favorite quotes were "This is the grossest thing I've ever done, I love it!", "Look, I found the path of the artery." (with her finger sticking out of the hole.) and "Wow, look at how big I can inflate this part of the lung." 

I asked one of the students to write up a review and here is what she said:  The dissection was really interesting and fun.  You could tell all about the animal.  You could see if the air it breathed was clean or dirty by the way the lungs looked.  The heart was really small and you could follow all of the passways.  It was cool that the different parts of the heart changed color when it dried out.  The dissection was really, really, really, cool.
