Goal for Today • Objectives: Students will be able to- • Observe and identify and explain the role of the major parts of the digestive system and urinary system in a frog. • Observe and identify traits help amphibians survive in both aquatic and land environments.
Safety • Avoid contact with your face. • Know where the nearest eye-wash station is. • Firmly secure specimen to your dissecting pan. DO NOT dissect specimen while holding it. • Handle the scalpel with extreme care and always cut away from others and yourself.
Amphibian Disection • Amphibian (amphi- on both sides, bios life)- Animals that live in both land and water. • Leopard frogs- Common in North America
Frog Backgroud • Frogs begin as tadpoles and have tails and gills • Adolescent frog develops lungs and legs.
