The Princess and the Frog

©2009-2010 *Spiritwollf. Okay when we think of frogs we probably think of the old fairytale or the new Disney Movie, The Princess and the Frog; however there is another side to frogs that we look at in Science Class at school, the process is called dissecting a frog. For some not so glamorous as looking at the frog in this photo. The materials that you need for dissecting a frog in class are, safety goggles, dissecting kit, dissecting pins, laboratory gloves, lab apron, or lab coat, tweezers, scissors, dissecting probe, preserved frog, dissection tray, and a magnifying lens. Dissection of a frog is not that bad as long as you have the right tools which I mentioned above. Its a great first science lab project. Your objective is to locate and describe the organs found in the frog. You will be asked to name locate and identify the organs that make up the various systems of the frog and probably compare the frogs organs to human organs. Did you know that frogs are amphibians? They can live in water and on land. Either way you look at it, each example the Princess and the Frog fairytale tells a story about a prince that has been cursed and turned into a frog, the only way he can be freed of his curse is to be kissed by the Princess, and the Science Lab project of dissection of the frog also tells us a story through dissection and examination. This is great time in your life, Science labs are a fun time! Pay attention in class and take notes! All will go well for you.
