Frog Dissection Resources
Frog dissections serve as a pivotal educational tool for several reasons. Firstly, they provide students with a tangible exploration of vertebrate anatomy, allowing them to observe firsthand the intricate structures and systems that comprise an organism’s body. By dissecting frogs, students can identify organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and intestines, fostering a deeper…

Evolution & Taxonomy
Evolution is often called the “unifying theory of biology” because it organizes all of the observations gathered by biologists and proposes and explanation for those observations. All state standards for teaching science include a section on evolution (sometimes called adaptation or change over time). Related Page: Animal Groups – Organized by Phyla Evolution Evolution: Fact,…
