Starred thought of the Day

*Remember that guy that gave up?  Yeah, no one else does either.

Class Activities

Today we completed the earthworm dissection, and were able to look and compare the human digestive system to the worm’s digestive system, as well as the human’s circulatory system to the worm’s circulatory system.

As I mentioned in class- the surgical scissors are a better tool than the scalpel for your ability level.  You will only use the scalpel for step 3 of part 2.
