On Monday we took our chapter 13 test. The students did very well on this test. This week we then proceeded on our dissection path and dissected the fetal pig. Pigs are very similar to humans in that they are mammals and have many similar characteristics. This was a good exploration to note the different organs that are very similar to ours. Our pigs were also double injected so that we could tell the difference between veins and arteries and we could follow the flow of blood. We will now be starting chapter 14 and looking at bones, muscles and the skin as very important organs in our bodies.
Life Science
This week is a short week for science, Students are working on their organ project where they will each be researching an organ of the body and determining its importance to our lives. This will be the last assignment for life science except for their final exam....
