Salmon dissection

As we near the end of our months long salmon unit, today we did a dissection of an adult salmon. Upon cutting the salmon open, the students  were very excited to discover it was a female. There were lots of comments about sushi and caviar. We removed the internal organs, including the eye and the brain, which you can see in the images above. A big thank you to Saskia, my assistant and to Sameera, the photographer.

 

Visitors from the Urban Safari Rescue Society

This afternoon, Lucky from the Urban Safari Rescue Society came to visit us with some animal friends. The students were mostly fascinated (maybe a little worried) about the critters. The society has a physical location that is currently closed due to a fire but will reopen in the fall.
