After dissecting frogs and worms this week, I really don’t
see why so many people get so worked up over the entire topic. Before this
week, I had only dissected sheep eyes and chicken feet. It was really cool
dissecting the entire body of the frog rather than being limited to just a
single section like before. I really liked the atmosphere in the room this go ‘round
over the classroom back in 7th grade with Mrs. Strode. From the worm
dissection, I found that the scissors in the lab kits hate right handed people
when the specimen is facing certain directions. That was great fun. With the
frog dissection, it was really neat seeing all the different organs that are
similar to ours. I expect the pig dissection in December to have strong
similarities as well. The only part of the dissection that I wasn't very
comfortably with was removing the eye of the frog. Using tweezers as the handout
suggested made the task the equivalent of ripping the eye out of its socket
which is not a comforting thought. Nonetheless, we succeeded and actually proceeded
to the second eye.
On a side note, I really want the weather to either warm up
or snow 3 feet. There must not be an in-between. (One must not turn the thermostat to 74 unless proceeding to 75. 75 is the temperature one must count. 76 is right out.) I do not like cold but if the
amount of snow is substantial, I can stay inside my house and be perfectly
warm. That's what I really want for my birthday.
