Biology: Rat Dissection

On Wednesday, February 29, we dissected a rat in Mr. Shefler’s Grade 10 biology class. At first, we were nervous and didn’t know what to expect. But, once we got going, we realized it was actually pretty cool. It was interesting to see such a complex digestive system in such a small body. Seeing the organs in person, instead of just inside a textbook enhanced our understanding of the bodily systems. We feel very privileged to go to a school that offers such dissections.
