SHEEP BRAIN DISECTION LABS

What does a brain really look like? How do different parts of the brain connect, and what do they do? In this new laboratory presentation, students pair up for a guided dissection of a sheep brain. Students will examine the external and internal features of the brain, learn and use appropriate anatomic vocabulary and exercise their skills in observation and following directions during this intensive examination of a mammalian brain. Sheep brains are a great choice for a first dissection experience because sharp tools are not required. Science on the Road provides all necessary supplies, including up to 15 sheep brains per session.

Grades: 4-8 Basic Fee:  $250 each presentation Time: 60 minutes Capacity: 30 students
