Animal Dissection Lab

Outreach Program

Meets curriculum for NC Grades 5, 7, 8, 9-12 Biology; and SC Grades 7, 9-12 Biology. Program can be adapted to meet the learning level of participants.
Students can investigate the biology of an animal with a hands-on experience in your classroom.
Participants will work with a partner to dissect a specimen – typically a frog or a squid – and learn about the animal’s adaptations, organs, and systems. A skilled museum educator will facilitate this interactive experience and provide all materials.
ALL PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES ARE DESIGNED TO MEET CDC, LOCAL, AND STATE HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS.
