Recommendation:

An incredible graphic reenactment of a dissection. The amount of interaction is superb. While the student does not choose the instruments to use next, guidance and tips are provided for instrument use. Multiple viewings are needed to solidify organ identification and location. Currently (11/04) there are six animal dissections available.

Description:

From the website: "Froguts is a resource for educators, students and those interested in learning more about the animals that populate our planet. We offer simulative experiences on the inner workings of animals and their interaction with the environment."

Possible uses:

Increase students' exposure to a dissection beyond one lab experience. Can be used for whole class, individual work, additional support for students, or an alternative for students unwilling or unable to perform an animal dissection. Software purchased can be used on all computers in a school and students may take the software home, too. NOTE: Once activated, the software expires in one year.
