Description
Contains dissecting pan and flex pad, a set of dissecting tools, and earthworm, frog, perch, and crayfish specimens.
This is the ideal dissection kit to be used for Apologia Exploring Creation with Biology.
Publisher's Description of Dissecting Lab Materials
A dissecting lab kit for use with the Apologia Exploring Creation with Biology course. It contains a 9"x13" tray with a 7 1/2" x 11 1/4" x 5/8" thick EPS pad and a clear dome cover. The 3" high, clear plastic cover snaps firmly to the pan to prevent excessive moisture loss and is designed to allow specimens to remain in the tray between dissection periods. The thick pad allows for easy pinning of the specimens and the economical pan and pad combination is easy to wipe clean and durable enough to reuse several times.
The four specimens included are: Earthworm 7"-10", Frog 4-4 1/2", Grey Perch 7-9", Crayfish 4-6". The specimens are individually packed in a vacuum sealed bag, then for shipment the set of four specimens are packed in a 2nd vacuum sealed bag to help ensure their safe arrival. The specimens are preserved with a Formalin fixed holding solution.
Category Description for BJU Press Biology
A comprehensive high-school biology laboratory course including cellular biology, genetics, biotechnology, the history of life, microbiology, botany, zoology, ecology, human anatomy and physiology, and the systems of the human body. The course takes a tacitly Christian position on current issues like AIDS, abortion, sexuality, drugs, euthanasia, hypnotism, homosexuality, ecology, physical disorders, genetic engineering, etc. Laboratory exercises are included in the Student Lab Manual (sold separately). The Dissection Labs DVD is a real help, often providing a better view of the target system than a real dissection provides. If you decide to do the actual dissections, you will need a kit that contains specimens (earthworm, crayfish, perch and frog), dissection tray, and tools. Bob Jones sells one that includes the Dissection Activity Book, or check out our item #8779 which includes specimens, tray and tools, but no book or magnifier. The Dissection Kit Student Activity and Teacher's Activity books sold separately provide detailed descriptions of the four specimens, as well as instructions and diagrams on the best way to dissect each creature and questions to answer along the way. The teacher's book contains the answers. A microscope and other equipment may also be necessary.
