Worm Dissection 2012

After studying "Wormy" Facts and doing several lead-up activities, each 6th grader was able to dissect a worm with a lab partner. Mr. Meier, the 8th grade Science teacher made the 8th grade Science Lab available, so the 6th graders could have the full experience. The day went smoothly and successfully thanks to several parent/grandparent volunteers! A special thanks goes to Mrs. Pulasky, Mrs. DiCarlo, Mrs. Halahan, Mr. McCrumn, Mrs. Hornick, Mrs. Swanson, and Mrs. Haaland. Thank you so much for your help with Lab set/clean-up and supervision!

Enjoy the pictures!!

6A Scientists:

Very Focused! :)

Happy Scientists

6B Scientists:

 Gillian and Autum identifying the Posterior End of the Worm. Nice work, ladies!

Rylan's the man! He dissected his worm all on his own! (His lab partner was absent)

Now THAT'S precision! Check out those organs!!!

Jake's group...future surgeon's? I think so!!!



 Nadia and Mandi getting quizzed on worm anatomy by Mrs. Koehnke :)

6C Scientists:

Removing the pharynx with tweezers...looking for the little brain!

 Mini Mouse came for our dissection ;)

These three were GOOD! Mrs. Koehnke couldn't stump them AT ALL when they were asked to identify and point out all of the worm anatomy!
