A bit sheepish - Araluen

Here's one not for the squeamish!   Our grade 5 and 6's have been studying the brain, how it works and which part is which.  We decided to run some clinics on the science of anatomy and have been dissecting sheep's brains every Monday afternoon.  Most of the students have been participating with great enthusiasm.


You need:

Sheep's brains (a bit hard to get these days, but our butcher got them straight from the abattoir.)

Some simple scalpels made from Stanley knife blades taped in between 2 icy pole sticks. (These worked really well.)

A copy of some instructions on what to look for and how to explain all parts.  Try this one:

Safety glasses and protective shirts

Good luck!
