Virtual Fetal Pig Dissection
This virtual pig dissection is an alternative for students who do not wish to participate in an actual dissection lab. It is also a good alternative if your budget doesn't allow the purchase of the specimens, since they can be quite expensive. I have also assigned this as make up work for students who were absent on the day of the dissection.
