Fish Dissection



*PLEASE NOTE, THE PHOTO'S IN THIS POST MAY NOT BE FOR THE FAINT HEARTED!*

Our fish dissection went well :) I found a couple of great links to help us.

E did some observational sketching whist dissecting. The whole process was fascinating.

We discovered the heart, liver, Pyloric caecae, swim bladder, gut, spent ages wondering over the gills, the eyes & even the brain!






Miss R was not terribly impressed with what we were doing. She chose to make a robot instead:

LOVE it; we did a sheep heart last week as part of our human body project (could't get a human one!!). My daughter poked it with a pencil whilst my son and I got stuck in!!

And Miss Mason was concerned about kids dissecting flowers...

Did she have fun...or would she have preferred the robot?

Jeanne, oh, golly, no, this is no the first time we have done this..E loves this type of thing. She wants me to buy her an eyeball from the butchers (!)
