Human Body Systems

We have begun studying the human body. This is the unit that the students have been waiting for all year. We dissect pigs at the end of this unit so the students can get chance to really see the different organs and organ systems that make up an pig. We use a pig because many of the organs are in the same place as in a human. Stay tuned and I will post pics of the dissection.

Also if anyone parent would like to participate with the dissection please contact me and we can make it happen!!!!
