LOOKING FOR DISSECTION MODELS TO PREP YOUR KIDDOS FOR THE REAL THING? TEACHERS LOVE IOS DISSECTION MODELS, HERE'S WHY:

❤️ Jennifer S says, "Awesome and Incredible! One of my favorite downloads from TPT! This and the worm dissection are just so wonderful! My daughter and I both loved the ease and creativity of this packet! It made for a wonderful follow up to her home school curriculum and an excellent work sample to share with her contact teacher at the quarter."

❤️ Deborah A. says, "This was a great purchase and worth the cost. Very easy to prep. Used with 7th and 8th graders before our actual dissection. Was a great learning tool for them, coloring, cutting, and assembling the paper model allowed them to get familiar with the organs and structures they would be seeing during the dissection lab. Will definitely use again."

❤️ Carolyn S. says, "Listening to students discuss the function of the different organs was incredible!"
