Mrs. Winter’s 7th grade science class has been learning about body systems and the major organs of each and their roles and tasks in the body. The students are amazed to learn how impressive their bodily functions are! As a culmination of our body systems unit, students had to apply what they learned to a real organism. Some students dissected down the fetal pig specimens. Mrs. Winter labeled major organs and the students had to identify and answer questions about them in a lab practical. Pigs are a great mammalian model organism to show students what their organs look like and how they function in their bodies.
