Squid Dissection (Organ Systems Focus)

Overview

Work in pairs to discover the internal and external anatomy of the squid and create revisable models to highlight organ system interactions.

Highlights

Program Duration: 2.5 Hours

Trip Season: Sept-June

Student Limit: Up to 25

Science Standard: HS-LS1-2

Trip Description

Students, in small groups,  will explore the organ systems of the longfin squid through a dissection. They will create a revisable model to show organs interacting within each system, resources required for function and the hierarchical organization among other organ systems.

Labs taught at Project Oceanology take place over 2.5 hours so this program plus one additional lab of your choosing will be taught.

Labs taught at your location will take place during the school day. The timing will depend on the number of classes/sections in your grade level or course. One lab program is taught per visit.
