Frog Paper Dissection
This activity is a perfect alternative to dissection or as an elaboration or evaluation. 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. Recently, I have given this activity to my students instead of doing a real dissection, and they have fun, stay safe and don't hurt any animals! Students who were absent during a real dissection could do this activity to

Fetal Pig Anatomy and Simulated Dissection Worksheet (female)
This worksheet can be use to preview or review the female fetal pig dissection, or can stand alone as a comparative anatomy lesson. It could also be used for students who were absent for dissection or as an alternative to dissection. Students read steps as if they were doing a dissection, and color the diagram as they go. Then, they answer questions at the end, where they have to do a comparison of the female reproductive organs and human reproductive organs, and also a comparison of the pig

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!

Shark Paper Dissection (Female)
Here is the companion to the male shark paper dissection that has been quite popular. Many teachers have decided to give students the option to do a paper dissection rather than a real dissection if it goes against their beliefs. Some teachers use these for when a student is absent for a real dissection and of course, some only use paper or on-line dissections in lieu of the real for financial, environmental or other reasons. Students really seem to like these dissections, and they are suitab

Protein Synthesis, Mutations & Modeling Hemoglobin Lab: NGSS - Distance Learning
In Brief: First, students read about protein synthesis, gene mutations, and chromosomal mutations. Then, students practice transcribing and translating mutated genes, identifying the type of mutation that occurred. Then, students read about protein structure, and put it all together using normal/sickle hemoglobin as an example. By comparing the change in amino acid sequence, students determine the cause of sickle hemoglobin, and construct origami models of the normal/sickle hemoglobin. Finally,

DNA on the Floor- General Bio DNA Replication Modeling (Best Seller)
**This got a huge update on 5/31/23.**Several years ago, I found this activity on a teacher’s blog. There were no instructions- just a few pictures of the process- and I created these instructions on my own from there. I’ve since modified the process to work for my classes.I NEVER skip this activity- it helps students have those “lightbulb” moments that make replication click. Understanding the lagging strand can be very challenging, and I find that this activity makes it so much more accessible

It still gives the students the idea of where the organs situated in the body and what organs are dorsal, ventral, etc. Students color the organs, cut them out, glue them into place a
