7A Perch Dissection

Students on 7A participated in the dissection of Pomadasys magranthan, Mexican Gray Perch.  This activity culminates our study of human body systems and adaptations/evolution processes.  Through hands-on learning and scientific observation, students completed a lab that allowed them to compare and contrast the characteristics (organs, organ systems, and features) of the fish with human anatomy.  They were also able to practice dissecting skills and collaborate with a partner.
