It's All About the Info
Awesome isn't it? CraftyHedgeHog over at Etsy made this (sold out right now) and they also have a fetal pig. It gives me a great idea. As a homeschooler I am always looking for new ways of learning. Who says you have to actually dissect an animal? I know of many moms who don't want to do it for a variety of reasons but worry. This is a rite of passage. Can you have a good grasp on biology without doing a dissection? Well, I don't know. Couldn't you do an awesome 3-D model like this? Since it is all about learning the information, you imagination would be the limit. I really think this translates to all areas of learning. There is no end all thing you have to do. It's all about the info!

Oh how fun! I know there are virtual dissections available online too, some for free from animal rights groups.
Personally, I never dissected as much as a worm in science class. I didn't want to and my mother was opposed, so she got the teacher's permission for me to study in the library and write a research report instead for that whole unit.
We have done things like drawn on our kids bellies with magic markers and outlined their entire digestive systems though. :) I much prefer that sort of learning!

This is a great idea! Hadn't thought about it before.
You were a link from a link I found on The Old Schoolhouse Facebook page. I think I'm adding you to my favorites. We seem to be like-minded in nerdiness. LOVED the Will and Andy SNL video of explosions, btw!
