Mink Dissection
This is the presentation I created to help my students through each major step of a mink dissection.
While the presentation came in handy, I also modeled each step for them, but tried not to show them TOO much as I went-- there's something great in the discovery being theirs.
As they started opening each mink, I would call them back, show more pictures on the board, or model through mine a bit more, quizzing as I went.
(The first day is the toughest as students have to find the trachea and e

Dissection Notes and Chicken Wing and Pickle Dissection LABS
My students spend a few days in class learning about bones, ligaments, tendons, skeletal muscles, cartilage, marrow, and tendons. I want the students to observe these parts first hand by dissecting a chicken wing.
The attached document contains notes about dissection tools and techniques. It then has a practice lab where students dissect a pickle. Finally, the document contains the chicken wing dissection lab. Teacher notes are provided for both labs.

Galileo and the Pendulum (Smartboard)
Galileo and the Pendulum is a 3-day Smartboard presentation that trains students to use the scientific method as they explore the story of Galileo's early pendulum experiments. The presentation leads students to construct their own experiments to show how swing size, mass, and string length affect the period of a pendulum. The presentation also helps students learn to create formal reports based on their experiments. The conclusion of the presentation summarizes their findings, reinforces the sc
