#VIRTUAL FROG DISSECTION LAB DOWNLOAD#
I could see an entire line of dissection apps opening up with even more advanced options and social media studying groups etc… Great work by Emantras Inc., and this is a must download in my opinion if you own an iPad. “The concept is great and the execution was wonderful. “Students who are budding animal rights activists can try to convince their teachers that for $2.99, it can maybe replace the real thing in class”.- NY1.com “A great option for anyone who wants to “dissect” a frog, without actually dissecting the frog”.-Eduinreview “A terrific way for students to learn about dissection”.- Macgasm “It's a great addition to the tools available for teachers to help their students learn”. Emantras Interactive Technologies disagrees and have created a quality frog dissection iPad app which can be used as an alternative to real frogs”. “Those that are in favor of the “traditional” dissection argue that there is no replacement for a real frog. “A realistic digital frog dissection program”.- School Tech Talk “A great first attempt at a virtual lab on the iPad”.- IEAR “All that is missing is the smell of Formaldehyde”. The following is a sampling of what the media is saying about Frog Dissection. The following are some schools that are either considering its use or are using it in their classrooms.Ī.D. The app has been featured in schools that are exploring alternatives to real dissection. Classification, lifecycle and organ functions of frogsįrog Dissection has received accolades from top review sites and educators who have found this to be an excellent teaching tool in the classroom.Comprehensive information on frogs’ organs.
Anatomical comparison of humans with frogs. Content validation by subject matter experts. Accurate simulation of the wet lab dissection procedure. Step by step instructions with voice over. For enhanced learning experience, the app also has information on the different types of frogs, frogs’ life cycle, anatomical comparison of frogs with humans, an interactive quiz and detailed descriptions of the organs. Vivid 3D images will help students visualize the internal organs very effectively. Once dissection is complete, the frog’s organs are exposed for further study. Students can try dissecting a virtual specimen with all the trappings that come with the real procedure-minus the mess of course! Besides a virtual chloroformed specimen, the app comes with all the dissection tools and detailed instructions to complete the procedure. This iPad app is suitable for middle-school students who are learning about organs and organ systems as part of their life science curriculum. Given a collection of 40 total draggable items, students must place them in their correct position in the frog's. This interactive digital science activity gives students the power to build their own model of a Frog Dissection. ******* Featured by Apple “ New and Noteworthy ” & “ What’s Hot ” *******įrog Dissection from Punflay, is a greener alternative for teaching dissection in the classroom. Virtual Frog Dissection - Interactive Draggable Science Model. ******* Featured in The Sunday Times- List of Top 500 Apps across all devices ******* These tubes help equalize pressure.******* Winner of PeTA’s Mark Twain Ethical Science Award ******* These are openings to the Eustachian tubes, leading to the tympanic membranes. Two openings can be seen on the lateral sides of the mouth’s roof. The fine maxillary teeth line the upper jaw and the two prominent vomerine teeth are found behind the mid-region of the upper jaw. The esophagus leads to the stomach, and the glottis to the lungs. Identify the glottis and the opening to the esophagus. Help your students learn all about frogs and their biological functions, without the messy lab work or controversial questions. Cut through the jaw joints on each side of the mouth and open the mouth wide. The cloacal opening, or anus, is the single exit from the urinary, reproductive, and digestive systems. Locate the cloaca at the specimen’s posterior end. In a living frog, this membrane is clear. This is the frog’s third eyelid, the nictitating membrane.
Notice the cloudy eyelid attached at the bottom of each eye.
Posterior to the eyes are round tympanic membranes, the frog’s external sound receptors. Find the 2 external nares at the head’s tip.
Each hind limb is divided into a thigh, lower leg, and foot. Observe that each forelimb is divided into an upper arm, forearm, and hand. The frog is a tetrapod, meaning that it possesses 4 limbs for locomotion. Notice the appendages developed for a terrestrial life.Obtain a preserved frog and place it on your dissecting tray, dorsal surface up. Check out these lesson plans for both actual and virtual frog dissections.
