Take a bite out of evolution! This jawless wonder of the animal kingdom has found its new home at Inside Out Science! Explore the fascinating world of early vertebrates with this Lamprey Scienstructable 3D Dissection Model ®, a hands-on, humane way to study the anatomy and physiology of one of Earth’s most ancient species.
This 3-D paper lamprey dissection model lesson includes a student-friendly reading that explores lamprey structure, systems, and evolutionary significance, along with black-line and color templates for both the full specimen and specialized mouth structures. It also features a guided PowerPoint presentation that walks students step-by-step through coloring, cutting, and assembling their own realistic, reusable lamprey model.
Designed to mimic a real dissection, this Scienstructable paper model can be used as a dissection-free exploration, a pre-lab prep activity, or a post-lab assessment in your comparative anatomy unit. Teachers love using it to bridge discussions on vertebrate evolution, while students who opt out of traditional dissections appreciate its authentic, humane approach.
All Inside Out Science dissection models use a consistent organ color system and include templates for both sexes (where applicable), allowing students to easily compare anatomical relationships across species and build a deeper understanding of structure, function, and evolutionary connection.
