The Great Frog Dissection

 Yesterday we got together with a friend to dissect frogs.  Here Little Miss M is showing how she feels.  To dissect or not to dissect led to some interesting philosophical discussion in our house.

Gloving up!

Examining the eyes and the membrane.

Getting a good look at the eyes and nostrils.

Prying open the mouth to examine the tongue.

Who knew that the tongue is attached in the front not the back like ours?

The opened frog.

I can't believe you are making me do this!

Examining the stomach.

Little Miss is examining the stomach.  None of the frogs had any food in their stomachs.

Removing the lungs.  You can see an assortment of organs on the tray.

The last organ has been removed and it looks like Little Miss is contemplating the meaning of it all.  Although I think she was just wondering if she could take off the gloves now.
