During second semester, we did a lot of hands on work as opposed to book work or online assignments. I thoroughly enjoyed this semester much more than the first because we went to the zoo and did dissections! I also got a lot closer with Ms. Green and Darean. I wish we did not have to do so many dissections because they are kind of a pain but they help us learn and understand these marine animals by seeing the different body parts up close.
The first dissection we did was the frog. I honestly think that this was by far the grossest dissection out of all of the things we dissected. It was really juicy and kept squirting up on us. And just reaching into a bucket of dead frogs preserved in frog juice was revolting. I would not do it again unless my life depended on it. And we didnt finish the hand out so then we got points docked off which just adds to the nasty experience. Thanks Ms. Green!!! :(
Next we dissected the dogfish shark which was my favorite. The frog was a lot grosser because the skin was so slippery and the skin on the dogfish was more leathery. I worked with Justin on this dissection and i feel like i did just as much if not more work on the dissection than he did! i think dissections in anatomy help me feel more confident when cutting open organisms.
I did a perch dissection online which wasnt very interesting. They are very basic and i dont really have a whole lot to say because it was an online dissection. I still have to do one more dissection and i might try the eel. But i dont know, we will see!
My favorite part of this semester was going to the zoo with the fifth graders! Me and Aly had so much fun togther looking at the different animals and entertaining the girls. We had such sweet girls and we really enjoye ourselves. I am really glad i got to go to the zoo with my friends too. It was a great experience and I had to be very responsible which is a good skill to have.
And now its the last week of school and its just me and ariana and DAREAN came back! Its actually really nice because we dont have to deal with Vance AND Robert anymore! Yaaaaayyyyy,
