Biology, 12/12, Period 2

Elliot is sitting on a lab table at the front of the room as students come in, and there is a laptop computer set up at each workstation.

"Hey! So I was going to do a dissection today, but then I realized some of you were vegetarians and others might just find it really icky. And? There are, like, dozens of neat Web sites now that let you pretend to cut up an animal without having to actually handle animal guts or smell like formaldehyde all day. So we're doing that instead."

"The whole reason for dissection is that it gives you a hands-on -- or, this time, mouse-on -- view of what an animal's internal organs look like. All of the stuff that we've learned about genetics and how animals work kind of comes together when you're looking at a pig or rat or frog's innards."

"Your computers have bookmarks for virtual dissections on a fetal pig, a frog and an earthworm, or you can run a search if you really want to find something else to pretend to cut up."

"Our final -- gosh, time flies -- is next week; it's a test, half multiple choice and half practical lab, on everything we covered this semester. Stop by my office hours Thursday if you have questions. "
