Explore Anatomy Like Never Before…Learn from the Inside Out!
Getting Nerdy dissection models are now Inside Out Science!
From frogs to fish, pigs to snakes, this Vertebrate Dissection and Anatomy Model Bundle brings together the most beloved 3-D paper dissection lessons for exploring vertebrate anatomy, physiology, and evolution—in a humane, hands-on, and classroom-friendly way.
This 3-D paper dissection model collection is perfect for demonstrating evolutionary relationships and structural similarities among vertebrate species. Each Inside Out Science model shares a color-by-number organ system, helping students easily visualize and compare organs across species while reinforcing how form and function evolve together. These models make it easy for learners to draw connections between diverse organisms—and even back to their own human anatomy.
Each lesson includes:
- A student-friendly reading covering structure, function, and key organ systems
- Black-line and color templates for differentiation and engagement
- A guided PowerPoint presentation that walks students through coloring, cutting, and assembling realistic 3-D paper specimens
Created to mimic authentic dissections, these Scienstructable 3-D models can be used as dissection-free explorations, pre-lab preparation tools, or post-lab comparative anatomy assessments. Teachers love them for introducing complex systems and highlighting structural patterns, while students who opt out of traditional dissections enjoy a true-to-life, compassionate learning experience.
All Inside Out Science models (formerly Getting Nerdy’s Scienstructable Dissection Models) use consistent color schemes and include templates for both sexes (where applicable), helping students recognize anatomical relationships across species and build a comprehensive understanding of vertebrate evolution and comparative biology.
Humane, reusable, and budget-friendly, this Vertebrate Dissection Model Bundle offers everything teachers need to bring compassion, connection, and curiosity to life science—one 3-D model at a time.
Each dissection model varies in length (3-7 days) and includes:
❤️ Paul L. says, "I’m teaching a new diversity of life class this year, and I love the quality of these. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I’ve previously purchased the invertebrate one for another class, and my students loved them. I cannot wait to use these for my new class. "
❤️ Julie S. says, "I absolutely LOVE these 3D dissection models. They have now become the "pre-work" required before students can participate in a dissection lab for all of my classes. The students usually complain at the beginning of these, but as they work through the models it's great to see them light up with understanding as they see how the anatomy is organized in the different organisms. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
