Thank you for visiting the Dissection 101 Collection. The Dissection 101 series includes educational videos, lesson plans, quizzes, and other materials for many dissections — crayfish, clams, earthworms, and more! The resources were developed for many reasons, including reducing the number of specimens used by a class, increasing the quality of the dissection, and enhancing the learning experience for students. Select a category from the left column.  Complete the activities at your own risk - SDPB and PBS are not responsible for any accidents resulting from completing any of the activities.
