Frog Dissection
Introduction:
·
What do the internal structures of
the frog look like?
·
How do amphibian organs compare to
human organs?
·
This activity will give you
practice and some knowledge before we begin the real dissection experience.

Description:
- Explore the web site

- Working in small groups of
three or four, locate the body parts and organs listed on the lab sheet.
- Manipulate the virtual frog
via commands in the program.
- Discuss and share their
computer experiences.
Procedure:
- All work will be done in
small cooperative groups (2-3 students).
- Each group will be assigned
to one computer and given lab
sheets.
- Open up the website link. Locate each organ listed on the frog
diagram on the computer screen.
- "Click" on the
organ. Copy the organ function listed at the top of window.
- "Click" on the
green organ link at the top of the page.
Sketch the picture given with plenty of detail.
- Remove the organ as
directed. Continue with the next
organ listed on the sheet.
- When you have completed the
assignment place it in my inbox.

Evaluation: Group
participation, discussion participation, and completion of lab sheet.
See Rubric.
Conclusion: Important
levels of organization for structure and function include cells, organs,
tissues, organ systems, whole organisms, and ecosystems.
