In this hands-on course, students will dive into the fascinating world of comparative anatomy through a series of dissections and explorations. We will dissect a variety of organisms including a frog, fetal pig, clam, shark, earthworm, mushroom, and flower, carefully examining the internal structures and systems of each.
Through these dissections, students will gain a deeper understanding of the diversity of life on our planet and the common anatomical features shared across different taxa. We will explore classification systems, identifying key characteristics that differentiate various groups of living things.
This immersive experience helps students develop critical observation and analysis skills while exploring the diversity of life on Earth.
