I think the purpose or essential question was to find out if dissecting a pig can help identify internal structures and organs learned in class. This dissection definitely related a lot to this class because we had already learned a lot about the different organ systems in the human body, and finding those internal organs in a pig, a fellow mammal of the humans, helped us to further understand the function and importance of these organs and organ systems.
My favorite part of the dissection was, to be honest, scraping off membranous material to uncover important organs, because it just felt satisfying.
I do think this dissection was a valuable experience because it really practiced hands-on skills as well the skill of teaching other people via a video, just like Mr. Orre!
This was a pretty fun lab, perhaps the most fun lab of the year--besides the hunger games lab obviously. I had already learned a lot of knowledge regarding the digestive, circulatory & respiratory, nervous, and endocrine systems, but I felt that it was pretty hard to grasp when everything seemed pretty abstract and far away, but this lab really brought everything to real life.
Above is the video of our tutorial.
