We are working our way through a biography of Helen Keller. We are using our beloved Beyond Five in a Row as our guide. Naturally, since Helen was blind, we took the opportunity to learn about the eye and seeing. What eye study could be complete without the dissection of a cow's eye.
The following pictures are NOT for the faint of heart.
 |
| One cow's eye. |
 |
| The cutting begins. |
 |
| Taking the poor cow's eye apart, piece by piece. |
 |
| Dissection completed! Here is a link to another dissection. |
Another great link:

We decided to do a frog dissection while we were at it. Helen Keller did not have a frog to my knowledge. Again, not for the faint of heart.
 |
| This is the poor little frog who unknowingly gave his life to science. RIP! |
 |
| Cut, cut, cut! |
 |
| The sound of ripping skin is disgusting! |
 |
| A missing leg. |
 |
| Inside. |
 |
| This frog bites. |
The rest of the pictures are just the guts and stuff. You can tell, I am real scientific.
Here is a link to frog dissection.
Overall, these were great science activities but I do not think we will be doing any more dissections anytime soon.
