Product Details This classroom dissection kit is designed to teach students the important structural anatomy of the mammalian brain. During the pre-lab, students are introduced to brain anatomy when they watch a short phenomenon video and answer related questions to activate their prior knowledge. During the hands-on dissection, they then dissect a preserved sheep brain. As they progress through the dissection, they explore the brain's external and internal structures and learn about their associated functions. The comprehensive student guide provides a glossary and postlab assessment questions to help reinforce and assess understanding. Designed for a class of 30, this classroom kit includes 15 Carolina's Perfect Solution® sheep brains, 15 self-locking storage bags, and a comprehensive teacher's manual with reproducible student guide. The teacher's manual contains procedural and preparation instructions, safety information, and more. The student guide provides step-by-step dissection instructions, labeled color photographs and illustrations, a prelab, assessment questions, and a glossary. Time Requirement Teacher prep, 20 minutes. Prelab, 30 minutes. Dissection, 60–90 minutes (or can be divided into multiple class periods). Assessment, 45–60 minutes. Prelab and Assessment can be completed as homework. Note: Carolina's Wetting Solution (items #220120A and #220121A) is recommended if completing dissection over multiple days. Digital Resources Includes 1-year access to digital resources that support 3-dimensional instruction for NGSS. Digital resources may include a teacher's manual and student guide, pre-lab activities and setup videos, phenomenon videos, simulations, and post-lab analysis and assessments.
