Sorry it has taken me so long to post the Integumentary System Unit work, but the time change and the approaching Cleveland winter has diminished my melatonin concentrations!

Cat Dissection Begins Friday

As we begin dissection of the cat this week there are a few reminders for proper lab procedure.

 Please remember...

*Under no circumstance should any tissue be removed from the classroom
                 
*You need to bring in a box of gloves and a tube of Clorox type wipes for your lab station
                 
*This is a learning opportunity, treat your specimen with respect. Any actions in and out of the                        classroom that are deemed to be improper use of a specimen will result in disciplinary action.                     This includes posting inappropriate pictures on social media. (It's not funny)
               
* If you want to bring a dissecting shirt in to put over you school clothes, I will keep this in my                          room.
                 
*Wash your hands and clean all dissecting utensils and station after each session.
                 
*You will be responsible for the information observed during the dissection.  We will have practical lab quizzes where you will be responsible for identifying structures on the specimen.
