I have taught Biology for 36 years, and have done many real dissections of many different animals, but have changed my mind on whether students need a real frog to dissect in high school.

Shark Paper Dissection (Female)
Here is the companion to the male shark paper dissection that has been quite popular.

Fetal Pig Paper Dissection
This paper dissection can be used as an alternative to a real dissection. Perhaps this is for the student who was absent during the dissection, for the students who don't want to do the dissection, or for the entire class when dissection is not a choice. The dissection is pretty simple and could be done by younger students. Blood vessels, bone, muscle and brain are not included. I think your students will enjoy this activity!
