Students had a choice to dissect or to do an alternate assignment. The frog's anatomy is very close to human anatomy, and comparison can be made. Another project was life size body outlines. Students worked together to draw the skeletal and muscular systems, plus their choice of two other body systems. Woven throughout this 6th and 7th grade science lab work is learning how to work cooperatively in groups.
Students learn how to respect differences and zero in on strong points and talents.
