Making Connections

Our 8th graders are just about to finish up their Human Body Systems unit of study and what better way to bring it all together than to have a dissection!  I love this activity as it makes the curriculum the students just learned very real and helps make the connections between the body systems.  I see students eyes light up when they have made that connection on a certain system or systems.  The value in this authentic assessment and real world application of the material we learned in class is second to none!  Here is a sampling of the fun that took place today.   

It is amazing to see students discovering, learning, and making connections!  This is what school is all about!
