This Week In Science

On the first day of this unit, we set up our blogs and created our first post. Our first post was called First Impressions. We wrote about our feelings on frogs and blogs. I did not know anything about a Frog i only seen them in movies.I did not know what the dissection would be like. On our second day, we finished fixing up our blogs and we updated our profiles. Then, in our notebooks, we wrote some cool facts that i didn't get to do yet but i will.I was very nervous! Once i saw the frogs insides I did not want to touch the frog at first, so I decided to be the Frogtographer and the Person who shows my group  what too do and touch. I had to take pictures of the dissection as we worked. On Thursday,we got to remove the organs and identify them on a Sheet. I was not scared anymore, and decided to try removing some organs with Jamilex and Chris.

     I learned that frogs have some organs like us humans do.  also i Learned that they don't have the best smell when their dead.  And I learned that they have a heart, lungs, liver, intestines, stomach, pancreas, and spleen.  They have other organs but those are unknown to us because we didn't find them.  I learned how to tell if a frog is a boy or a girl by looking at their thumbs.  If they have Fat and big ones their a boy.  We Named our frog So Many names i don't remember so I'm Going to name him Tommy.

 This picture shows the organs that we pulled out of Charlies body and examined it on a worksheet.  I chose this picture because I think that it shows what we learned about frogs.

This picture shows my group taking out Charlies Stomach.  I choose this picture because it shows how that Particular organ has too come out.

This picture shows my group opening Charlie Mouth.  I choose this picture because I like how the mouth is opened.

This picture shows my group opening Charlie up the center.  I choose this picture because you get to see how everything in the body looks.

This picture shows my group opening One Side of Charlie.  I choose this picture because it shows how we had to hold the frogs skin down which was weird.

This picture shows Charlie heart,Lungs,stomach and intestine.  I choose this picture because it was hard to get the skin to stay down and when we finally got it  i caught the picture.
