Cool Grasshopper Dissection Blog
Grasshoppers are found in a large range of habitats but the largest number of them can be found in lowland tropical forests and grasslands. Most grasshoppers favor open, dry habitats. Grasshoppers are herbivores and they eat plants such as oats, rye, barley, and wheat. They do not have a nose, so instead they have holes along the sides of their body for breathing. A large grasshopper can jump a distance of 20 times the length of its body. Now that we've got some context about grasshoppers, let's talk dissection. Take a look at the pictures below where we've opened up a grasshopper to show you its external and internal anatomy.

Cool Crawfish Blog
Hola senores y senoras. Today we're going to talk about everyone's favorite Louisianan delight--the crawfish! They are found in bodies of water. Some species are found in fresh water while others are
found in swamps, ditches, and rice paddies. Most of them can not tolerate polluted water. They feed on dead animals and plants. Crayfish breathe through feather like gills. There is a species of crayfish that is blue called the blue Crayfish. There are ones that are also red and white. Now that we've got some context about crayfish, let's talk dissection. Take a look at the pictures below where we've opened up a crayfish to show you its external and internal anatomy.

Cool Frog Dissection Lab
Hey kids, what's green and hops around? A frog! Frogs are the most popular of amphibians. They live both on air land and in the water and are capable of living in the most diverse habitats ranging from hot to warm, wet to dry. Using lungs to breathe on air and gills to breathe underwater. Frogs live on every continent except Antarctica. Frogs are carnivores, eating insects primarily. Larger frogs however can eat small snakes, baby mice, or even other smaller frogs! Now that we've got some context about frogs, let's talk dissection. Take a look at the pictures below where we've opened up a frog to show you its external and internal anatomy.

Cool Clam Dissection Blog
Hello, Dallas. It's the enraged Zucchinis again, here with another installment of our dissection series and today we've got a treat for you. Today we explore the wonderful, stupendous, amazing...clam. That's right, but before we open it up and take a peek inside, let's have some background information. The clam can be found on the seabed of fresh as well as salty bodies of water. Clams are known as filter feeders, which means they pump water through their bodies, trapping small organisms in their gills, such as plankton, which they can consume. As the water passes through the siphon of the clam, carbon dioxide and wastes are removed from the body of the clam, and the water is expelled through the siphon. Incidentally, there is a particularly interesting type of clam that is appropriately named the giant clam, for its four foot size. This clam is said to have an average life span of about 100 years. Now that we've got some context about clams, let's talk dissection. Take a look at the pictures below where we've opened a clam up to show you their external and internal anatomy.

Cool Starfish Dissection Lab
Hello boys and girls. Gather around. Today we're going to talk about dissecting starfish. But before we make any cuts, here's some contextual information about the starfish. Starfish are found on the sea beds of all oceans, typically about 20,000 feet below the surface of the water. They feed on invertebrates in the area, such as clams, oysters, sand dollars, and mussels. Some starfish may also feed on decomposing plants and animals or even coral. Starfish breathe through the tube feet in their arms by diffusing oxygen through their skin. Starfish also have eyes at the ends of each arm, but it is unknown what their purpose is. Now that we've got some context, let's talk dissection. Take a look at the pictures below where we've opened up a starfish to show you its external and internal anatomy.

Cool Lake Perch Dissection Blog
Hello Americans. Welcome to our Cool Lake Perch Dissection Blog (cue airhorns). Today you're going to learn everything some things about dissecting Lake Perch fish. But first, some background knowledge on our friend, the Lake Perch. The Lake Perch is a freshwater fish found predominantly in freshwater lakes and ponds in the Northern Hemisphere, though some species have been introduced to Oceania. Just like me at a Buffalo Wild Wings, it is carnivorous; unlike me at Buffalo Wild Wings, it feeds not on wings but on smaller fish/crustaceans and insect larvae. Like most of its fish brethren it breathes through gills on the sides of its body, but unlike most of their fish brethren, some species of the Perch spawn their eggs by draping long strings of eggs over plants or other structures underwater. Now that we've got some context about the lake perch, let's talk dissection. Take a look at the pictures below where we've opened up a lake perch to show you its external and internal anatomy.
