DryLabPlus Fetal Pig

Dr. Nancy Harrison explores the DryLabPlus Fetal Pig program
Other viewing options

The DryLabPlus Fetal Pig program, recommended by Dr. Nancy Harrison, is a dissection that thoroughly investigates the complex internal and external anatomy of the fetal pig.

It has outstanding images of fresh (not fixed!) specimens that are identical in quality to tissue that I myself work on every day. And it has a step-by-step how-to video if you want your students to learn to perform a wet dissection. This company also makes CDs of other animals—frog, perch, earthworm, rat and crayfish—also beautifully photographed.

Difficult dissections like the nervous system are here for you in full view—up close and without the fumes! In addition, detailed diagrams, slides, pictures (more than 100), and specimens at eight different stages of gestation offer a wonderful enhancement to your wet lab! Sound and video will keep your students fully engaged, and more than 400 questions will test their knowledge. It comes with full-screen images, a complete interactive dissection, and testing, and it's fully editable.

Dr. Harrison recently gave a presentation titled, "Virtual Dissection: The Best of the Best" at the National Science Teachers (NSTA) national conferences in November 2007 and March 2008, in which she offered demonstrations of DryLabPlus Fetal Pig and Digital Frog 2.5. Evaluations from these sessions show that educators who attended strongly agreed that the sessions were useful, that they intended to use the material in their classrooms, and that the presentation should be offered at future NSTA conferences (9).
