Blog #10 Dissection

Why is dissection an important part of a biology curriculum?  
         The reason why dissection is important for biology is because it keeps the classroom more interested. Not only that but instead of seeing a  picture of it and trying to figure out how parts work and where they are, you can have a student be up close and personal with the dissection. For me when i dissected a cow eye and a squid, i actually remembered more clearly where everything was and how to dissect. Usually when you're confronted with something, you tend to remember exactly where everything is. It just becomes sort of part of a memory. So dissecting can be part of a good studying technique.

Which animals and/or plants should be included in biological studies?
         I think we should dissect a cow eye, just because in past experiences its been really interesting. Also maybe dissecting a frog, squid, baby pig. Also dissect a fish, just to see how difficult it is since they are so tiny. I can't think of anything else. But anything really interesting and out of the ordinary would be great to dissect.
