Miss, this is the BEST LAB EVER
The squid dissection rocks. It is project-based, student-centered, hands-on, engaging and can be easily replaced or supplemented with an online alternative. The students deepen their understanding of body systems and how different organs are connected to maintain homeostasis. More importantly, I believe they feel in this lab more than any other lab in the year that they are Scientists–using important tools to conduct important work. And its true!! The day is always an absolute pleasure (as long as the air freshener doesn’t run out). Check out some pictures below. Students, feel free to comment with your favorite part of the lab!!
