Science FREE Crayfish Dissection

Optimal Age: Learners 12-15

• Join me, Bonnye, as we inspect and dissect a crayfish together! I’ve been a lifelong learner, a marine biologist, a home school mom, and a science teacher. I love science, and I love the excitement of curiosity it brings to our students!
• If you choose, you can have a preserved crayfish from a science website (we like homeschooltools.com) with various dissection equipment that you can source from a thrifty store such as the Dollar Tree, your kitchen or bathroom, or follow along and have none of the science items!
• Your learner will love the thrill of discovery for as much, or as little, as you are able and willing to provide.

OPTIONAL: If you want your learner to participate to have: 

(1) crayfish specimen (preserved is best)

(1) plate for worm to be dissected on

(1) tweezers or plastic forceps

(1)Small pair of sharp scissors – beauty scissors work great

(2-5) Small pins to pin down some parts
