Did you know that each year over 6 million animals are killed for dissection? ๐ท๐ฑ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ I remember in high school I was so grossed out by the fetal pig dissection I begged to opt out, and the teacher โpunishedโ me by having me write an essay instead. I donโt remember anything about the essay I wrote, but I do remember being upset about it! ๐๐ท๐๐ท๐๐ท๐๐ท๐๐ท Fast forward to 2019- and we now have the option of virtual dissection! Same learning power, less dead baby animals. If the goal of dissecting animals in the classroom is to learn about organs and their processes- why canโt that be done virtually? You could still have the hands on learning experience without being haunted by the smell of formaldehyde for years to come. If you google โvirtual pig dissectionโ there are quite a few interactive sites available! They are creepy and fun to play around with, and a great option for students who are not comfortable with actual dissecting. ๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช Reason online high school is great reason #372 #savethepigs #edtech (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtSDBkMhweE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yse69ufbi41x
