Earlier in the year, when Mr. Heisey (the CYMS Science Department Leader) introduced the Frog Dissection Intramural, I was intrigued. Now, usually when you hear the word dissection you immediately think ‘gross’ or ‘ew’, but have you ever actually dissected anything before? You can easily learn a lot from the process. Or, at the very least, at the end you can proudly say “I dissected a frog!” The after school intramural, held in November, was organized by CYMS science colleagues, Mr. Santoro and Mr. Heisey. Once we all gathered in Mr. Heisey’s room, we were given the instructions and our materials. We waited anxiously for our frogs to be delivered to us. And once we got them, the dissecting could begin! We learned how to use the tools, and we learned about the different parts of a frog. We took out the stomach, heart, liver, and some students even managed to get out the eye! The intramural was a fun learning experience, and I recommend to the students to sign up the next time it is available. You never know how things will turn out if you don’t try them.
