Explore Anatomy Like Never Before…Learn from the Inside Out!
Getting Nerdy dissection models are now Inside Out Science!
From squids to sea stars, worms to clams, this Invertebrate Dissection and Anatomy Model Bundle lets students explore the incredible diversity of invertebrate life—hands-on, humane, and completely classroom-friendly.
This 3-D paper dissection model collection is perfect for showing evolutionary connections among invertebrate species. Each Inside Out Science model uses a shared color-coding system, allowing students to easily recognize organ patterns across species. By seeing how structures repeat and evolve, learners make meaningful comparative anatomy connections that link invertebrates to one another—and even to their own body systems.
Each lesson includes:
- A student-friendly reading covering anatomy, structure, and function
- Black-line and color templates for differentiation and engagement
- A guided PowerPoint presentation that walks students through coloring, cutting, and assembling their own true-to-life 3-D models
Created to mimic real dissections, these Scienstructable paper models can be used as dissection-free explorations, pre-lab prep tools, or summative assessments for any life-science unit. They’re a classroom favorite—ideal for building confidence before lab days and giving students who opt out of traditional dissections an authentic, hands-on experience.
All Inside Out Science models (formerly Getting Nerdy’s Scienstructable Dissection Models) use consistent organ colors and offer templates for both sexes (where applicable), helping students see anatomical relationships and understand the big picture of structure and function across species.
Humane, budget-friendly, and easy on the planet, this invertebrate bundle brings compassion and curiosity together in one unforgettable collection.
Each dissection model varies in length (2-7 days) and includes:
❤️ Lauren L. says, "These are amazing! I love the detail that goes into each picture! I feel that students get more out of these than actual dissections- especially in lower level classes. "
❤️ Joyce N. says, "Unbelievably terrific - practically better than the real thing! The colors can be accurate, instead of the entire animal being the same grayish-yellow AND you can still breathe in the classroom without having the smell of formalin in the air!"
