DISSECTING RATS


Today we dissected rats. Why? To learn more about the internal organs and general make up of our bodies, because they are very similar to a rats. We saw large intestines, small intestines, heart, lungs, bladder, kidneys, lungs, spleen, and more. All of the students showed lots of interest. We had Jonno (a teacher aide from room 14) helping us, he has studied anatomy at University and his father is a vet, so he had some good knowledge to share with us. I dissected one too! It was very interesting, I hope all students learned a little more about the body today. Check out the pics,

Make a comment: tell me what was most interesting about dissecting rats today. What did you learn?

that was so cool we got to see what was inside the rat & then when we compare it to our body its just a smaller version. Hayden

I think it was really interesting, but it was gross
It's amazing that even though we're very different to Rats on the outside, we're very similar the inside!

I think all the blood was discusting, but all the organs were amazing. The liver in peticular was very interesting, because it had so many layers.

I thought that dissecting rats was interesting because it has all the vital organs that we do but smaller.
