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.
