Oink if you love anatomy! A long-time favorite from Getting Nerdy, this Fetal Pig Dissection Model has found a happy new home at Inside Out Science, where curiosity and compassion go hand in hand. Perfect for exploring vertebrate anatomy and physiology, this 3-D paper dissection model turns a classic biology lab into a clean, creative, and completely humane learning experience.

This pig dissection model lesson includes a student-friendly reading that explores structure, organ systems, and function, plus color and black-line templates that allow for easy differentiation. The guided PowerPoint presentationwalks students step-by-step through coloring, cutting, and assembling their own realistic 3-D pig they can “dissect” again and again—no scalpels required!

Designed to replicate a real dissection, this Scienstructable paper model works beautifully as a pre-lab prep activity, a dissection-free exploration, or a summative assessment for comparative anatomy lessons. Teachers love it for introducing major vertebrate systems and reinforcing structure-function relationships, while students who opt out of dissection appreciate the authentic, hands-on experience without the mess or ethical concerns.

All Inside Out Science models (formerly Getting Nerdy’s Scienstructable Dissection Models) maintain a consistent organ color system and include templates for both sexes (where applicable), allowing students to make cross-species comparisons and deepen their understanding of anatomical relationships in vertebrate biology.

Humane, reusable, and engaging, this Fetal Pig Dissection Model helps students discover that the best lessons really do come from the inside out.
