Participate in a virtual dissection of a fetal pig. Use this amazing site to learn anatomical terms, planes of view, and complete systems. Each section opens in a new window. Terminology is used in such a way for complete understanding of the meaning of the term. Look for the yellow words that can be clicked for further information. Take quizzes to check knowledge by dragging the words into the appropriate spaces. <b> NOTE:</b> the site does not run properly in Firefox. Try Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Safari. It uses Shockwave.
In the Classroom
Use this site as an accompaniment to other resources for students to use during the actual dissection. Many students will appreciate the 3D view and the interactive nature of this site in the understanding of the systems of the fetal pig. If individual computers aren’t available, share this site on your interactive whiteboard or projector.
At Home
A great site for your student to accompany other resources used for the actual dissection. Use this site to explore the 3D images with your student before they complete the dissection at school for a better understanding of the activity.
