TWIS #9

     This week in science we dissected Fogs, Mice, Perch's and Skates. It was very disgusting. My group dissected a Frog and a Mouse. The frog was pretty easy to dissect because its skin is very thin. The mouse was harder because it had like a lot of water inside of it and we didn't want it to explode or squirt. The skin was thick and I had to make a hole in its stomach with a pin so then we could poke the scissors in and cut it open. It wasn't pregnant like we thought it was. We also drew pictures of the animals and took pictures of them and put it on Google Docs.
     This week in science, I learned how to Dissect Frogs and Mice and other teams dissected Perch's and Skates. I learned what is inside of all these animals that we dissected, like on the picture below. It shows the insides of a Rat labeled. We also learned that Mice and Frogs are not the same in a few things. 

This is an Abdominal view of the Rat

TWIS #8

     In these pictures the Side, Proximal, Dorsal and Ventral View are shown.  This is a crawfish that we dissected. In the Side view the claw is labeled. They use their claws to hunt for food and for protection. In the Proximal view the eyes that the crawfish use to see are labeled. The Antennas are labeled in the Dorsal view of the crawfish. The uropod is shown on the Ventral view.
    TWIS, I learned how to Dissect animals. I learned what is inside of all these animals that we dissected. David gave us instructions and we followed them. Also I learned anatomy directional terms. Dorsal, Ventral and Proximal are just some of them. We learned how to label pictures on the mac laptops.
