Cow's eye Dissection Step by step on-line dissection, or you may download a PDF file and practice off-line or save it to disk and share it with your class. Download the cow's eye primer, an interactive primer to learn about the parts of the eye. The primer is more suitable for younger children.
Fetal Pig Dissection A project done by Lakeview High School. These are actual slides of an actual dissection done in their class. Slides show the different parts and names of those parts.
Mr. Bones Click on Mr. Bones and then try to put him back together again. Fun and easy but you do need the Shockwave plug in.
Probe the Brain Using a probe you get to find out what parts of the brain control what parts of the body. Shockwave required.
Sheep Brain Dissection This is the real thing. Photos of an actual sheep brain will take you through the various parts and structures of the brain. Pictures are a bit unfocused but good detailed sections.
Sheep Brain Dissection Explore where memory originates from as you go through the different sections of the brain. Real audio is available. This is appropriate for younger ages who want to learn the basic brain parts.
The Interactive Frog Dissection This is a tutorial using an actual frog dissection. It can be used to prepare a student or as an alternative to doing an actual dissection. After you have gone through the tutorial you can take a quiz by clicking on the parts and seeing if you can remember what parts are where in the body.
The Virtual Pig Dissection Line drawings showing the different parts and organs of a pig. The web is still being worked on to improve the navigation but it is a good way to learn the parts of the body.
Virtual Frog Dissection Kit Interactive frog dissection with fly by movies. Available in multiple languages. Pictures are drawings not actual so this is a great site for those who feel uncomfortable with real dissection. Help on how to use the features is available.
