3D Virtual Frog Dissection Lab

Amaze and engage your students with a realistic frog dissection!  

  • Explore a 3D virtual model of a frog and see the different body systems in context.
  • Learn about dissection tools and techniques.
  • Dissect the frog and deepen your understanding of structure and function.
  • Apply your undertanding of anatomy in the dissection and with additional practice.

Standards

MS-LS1-3 – Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of
groups of cells. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the conceptual understanding that cells form tissues and tissues form organs specialized for
particular body functions. Examples could include the interaction of subsystems within a system and the normal functioning of those systems.] [Assessment
Boundary: Assessment does not include the mechanism of one body system independent of others. Assessment is limited to the circulatory, excretory, digestive,
respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems.]

HS-LS1-2 – Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific
functions within multicellular organisms. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on functions at the organism system level such as nutrient uptake,
water delivery , and organism mov ement in response to neural stimuli. An example of an interacting sy stem could be an artery depending on the proper function of elastic tissue and smooth muscle to regulate and deliver the proper amount of blood within the circulatory system.] [Assessment Boundary : Assessment does not include interactions and functions at the molecular or chemical reaction level.]
