What educators are saying

My students enjoyed this lab, and it was a smooth process thanks to the lab materials and video! The video reeeeaaaaallllllyyyy makes this worth the purchase, especially if dissections is not an area of strength.
I had an older fetal pig dissection activity that I used with my students for several years but was not satisfied with that resource. I decided to give this one a try and I absolutely love it! The directions are clear and easy to follow which allows my student groups to work more independently.

Description

Dissections can be daunting- but not anymore! This thorough and engaging fetal pig activity is perfect for an upper level Biology or introductory Anatomy and Physiology course. Your students will love the detailed instructions, diagrams, photos, and worksheets included in this bundle!

Addresses NGSS HS-LS1-2.

What's included?

2 versions of dissection instructions:

1. Basic: Dissection instructions + explanations of structures and functions for each body system (perfect for an introduction or students needing more assistance)

2. Advanced: Dissection instructions only (perfect for a cumulative assessment or higher level, independent students)

6-page student lab packet including diagrams to label and comprehension questions (Answer key is included).

How can I use this for virtual learning?

  • Students can view the exclusive YouTube video demonstration made for this lab while completing the lab worksheet on Google Slides. This worksheet includes drag-and-drop terms for labeling diagrams and text boxes for typing answers to questions.

*Note: Teaching upper elementary or middle school? You may prefer my Fetal Pig Dissection for Young Learners, which provides an introduction to the body systems through exploration and dissection.

The lab includes student observations of both external and internal anatomy of the pig:

External Anatomy:

Gestation & Gender- age of pig, male/female

Anatomical Directions- dorsal/ventral, anterior/posterior

Basic External Structures- legs, ears, snout, etc.

Integumentary System- hair, sweat glands

Skeletal & Muscular System Overview- biceps femoris, femur

Internal Anatomy:

Endocrine System- thymus gland, thyroid gland, pancreas

Digestive System- liver, stomach, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine, sphincters, rectum, anus

Lymphatic System- spleen

Excretory System- kidneys (renal vein/artery, cortex, medulla, renal pyramids) ureters, bladder, urethra

Respiratory System- diaphragm, trachea, larynx, lungs

Circulatory System- heart (atria/ventricles), valves, coronary blood vessels, septum, apex, valves, aorta, vena cava

NGSSHS-LS1-2
Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms. Emphasis is on functions at the organism system level such as nutrient uptake, water delivery, and organism movement in response to neural stimuli. An example of an interacting system could be an artery depending on the proper function of elastic tissue and smooth muscle to regulate and deliver the proper amount of blood within the circulatory system. Assessment does not include interactions and functions at the molecular or chemical reaction level.
