Dissection
Upper (There are 2 options: option A: individual and will keep
all materials $75.00 or option B: with a partner no one keeps
materials $40.00)
We will dissect a double
injected fetal pig, with a focus on external and internal
anatomy. This class also investigates the organ systems of
the mammal. We will move through the material at a relatively
quick pace in order to cover it all in 12 weeks. A basic middle
school understanding of biology is expected, as the course
will move on to include high school level material.
Student must be able
to clearly follow directions in an efficient manner, communicate
openly, and be mature enough to handle the dissection material.
We will be using scalpels, pins, etc. Note-taking and outside
study/student-led investigation is required. As we progress
through the material, students will be encouraged to share
interesting facts they have discovered on their own. Class
is open to upper level middle school and high school students.
There will be no grades
or testing. Students may work in pairs if arranged for before
class begins.
There are 2 options
for this course:
A. Work as an individual
and keep your materials (Fetal pig, advanced dissection kit,
dissecting pan & fetal pig dissection guide)
B. Work with 1 partner
and keep none of the materials

can join theatre. Everyone who wants a speaking part will
get one. However, if you’re new to theatre or a little
shy and just want to be in the play but not have a speaking
part, that's ok too!
*Please be aware that your child will have to do a lot of
sitting quietly during A LOT of practices.
This is a TWO-semester class. If you join, please be aware
that you are making the commitment to take the class in the
Spring also. When we get closer to the performance, we will
have numerous extra practices, especially during our very
hectic last week when we practice almost daily! Every parent
is required to join a committee for theatre. Most of the costumes
are included in the tuition, as are the cast party, goody
bags, and a cast t-shirt.
Outside
work: There will be A LOT of practicing music and memorizing
lines at home.
