Biology and Anatomy by Digital and Actual Dissection
Students take this multimedia course to learn biology and anatomy through digital dissection of frogs. The virtual scalpel allows students to practice the same cuts they would make with a real frog. We will cover the major body systems: circulatory, control, digestive, endocrine, imune, nervous, respiratory and urogenital and discuss the similarities and differences between frogs and humans. The class culminates in an dissection of an actual frog.
