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

Virtual Human Brain Dissection
This is a virtual dissection alternative that allows students to dissect a 3D human brain, record observations, answer analysis questions on the observations and label a sheep's brain with the synonymous human brain structures. The analysis questions are mixed formats between direct questions and critical thinking concluding questions. This activity can be completed completely online or printed out for in-person instruction. It is meant to serve as an alternative method to performing a dissectio

Rat Paper Dissection
This is the new installment of my paper animal dissections. It can be used instead of real dissections to save an animal's life and to allow all students the access. My own biology students enjoy doing these paper dissections. It reinforces human anatomy studies as well as comparative anatomy. Hope it meets expectations! You can make it a little more difficult or easy by changing up the questions.

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

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!

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,

Starfish Anatomy and Simulated Dissection Worksheet
This worksheet can be used as a preview or review of a real starfish (sea star) dissection or as a stand-alone worksheet. It can also be used as a sub lesson or as a make-up assignment for a student who was absent for the real dissection. Students read the steps to a would-be dissection, and then label and color the diagrams. You can add to the assignment by having students write the function of each part or by writing some questions on the board.

Cat Paper Dissection
This paper dissection goes along with my other paper dissections such as the frog and pig. It is a great alternative to a real dissection. It can be given to those students who don't want to dissect or who are absent for the dissection or can be given to the entire class when a real dissection is not an option. 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
