We finished our frog dissection last week on Friday. We started our dissection on Wednesday. On Wednesday we broke the jaw and we looked and studied the mouth. On Thursday we opened up the frog's chest. On Friday we took out the organs of the frog. I personally did not like the dissection all that much. I have science 8th period so when I walk; I smell 5 dissections in that room. The stench is terrible! Also, I am a vegetarian so the stench was very disgusting to me since I do not eat meat. I wish we had two gloves instead of one glove. Mr. Kirste was giving out two gloves to all the students. When he got to our period, he was low on gloves and we had to use one glove instead of two. We then had to touch the frog. I felt very sad for the frog during the dissection because these frogs were once alive to, and they were killed against their will so some middle schoolers will learn about frogs.


     I don't see the importance of having to dissect a frog. How will dissecting a frog help us become better mathematicians? It won't help us. The only possible way it could help is if you become a surgeon when you get older. I don't see any other benefits. Also, the frog population is decreasing exponentially. Killing some frogs so they could be used in science classrooms is not helping us save frogs. In fact, it goes against helping and saving the environment.
