Created for the Novare General Biology Dissection Labs. This kit includes all the specimens and dissecting tools needed to complete all the dissections in the Apprentice’s Companion for General Biology. Contents include a dissecting tool case, dissection tools (forceps, dissection pins, ruler, scalpel blades and handle, dissecting scissors, curving teasing needle, straight teasing needle, gloves (6 pr.), dissection pan, and the following specimens: mammal heart, mammal kidney, fetal pig, frog, earthworm, grasshopper, crayfish, clam, perch, and sponge. Note: Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, known to be the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced first with water and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which will not decay over time.
This product can expose you to chemicals including Formaldehyde, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, and Methanol, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.Novare General Biology Dissection Kit

Inspiring students to be awed by God’s amazing creation and aiming for content mastery by focusing on fewer topics with more depth, Novare General Biology affirms Jesus Christ as the center of all things while teaching the complexity of God’s world and current secular scientific theories. The course begins with atoms and molecules, progressing into cells, genetics, microorganisms, fungi and plants, animals, and human organ systems. It also includes a survey of ecology, population genetics, and evolutionary theory teaching. Successful completion of Algebra 1 is required, with Geometry being taken concurrently. Required components include the Student Edition, Digital Resources, and the Apprentice Companion. Optional and helpful resources include the Student Lab Report Handbook and Lab Kits. A microscope with 400x magnification is required but not included in the Lab Kits. The Novare General Biology Program includes the Student Edition, Digital Resources, and the Apprentice Companion. The Program includes the 2nd edition General Biology Student Edition, which offers reorganization of topics, expanded information including more in-depth coverage of RNA and the history of RNA research, and improved clarity in wording and mathematical application.
