Welcome to Jamin's Internet Academy! I am a homeschooling Mom who is fasinated with finding low cost - no cost ways to supplement our homeschooling through the internet. There is a treasure trove of free goodies online. So join me here on the Front Porch every Wednesday as I share a little of what I have found with you!
Ahhh, dissection...the word either brings thrill or terror to the heart of a homeschooling Mom! Whether you are fan of dissection or not at some point it is going to come up in your children's schooling. My kids are fascinated with dissection and we have done several including owl pellets, fish and cows eyeball. But whether you are going to dive in and dissect something yourself or just want your kids to learn about dissection the neat and tidy online way here are some site for you!
Dissecting a Frog Online
Online Cockroach Dissection
Owl Pellet Dissection
Cows Eye Dissection Online (We actually did this dissection a few years ago at this very Museum!)
Fish Dissection Online
And if you are looking for an amazing exhibition of the human body, check out the Bodies, The Exhibition website. I highly doubt any of us are going to be doing dissections on human bodies anytime soon, but this exhibit is amazing! It is actual bodies that have been presevered without the skin so that the organs can be viewed. While this may not be for the youger crowd, it could be an amazing resource for highschoolers and above. It is a traveling exhibit, so keep an eye open. It may be near you soon!
If you decide after looking at all these great online dissecting sites to do the real thing here are some places you can buy all the goodies you will need.
