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
