The classroom was invaded by Spiny Dogfish Sharks last week. Luckily, the 6th graders used their knowledge of scalpels, scissors, and fish anatomy to fend them off. On the first day the students explored the exterior anatomy of the fish, learning the structure and functions of the different fins and about placoid scales. On day two they took their shark outside in order to open them up and examine the organs and tissues.
Mrs. Williams 9th age girls also joined us to check out what was going on. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed the dissection
