In science we dissected frogs (you guessed it) and we learned many fascinating things regardless of the horrible stench. My group's frog was female and when we opened it we were surprised to see so many eggs. We found out (from our science teacher) that female frogs had to lay tons of eggs because the survive/death ratio was low. When Eric and I finished dissecting the frog (our other peers refused to touch it) our science teacher let us mess around with the creature, in which Eric took its eyes out and I shattered the 3rd vertebrae. I think that the science dissection was a success because Kermit (our frog) was still in one piece and we learned so much.
The frog interested everyone, even the people that refused to touch it. My favorite part of the dissection was when we had to cut through the skin and muscle of the wonderful frog to expose its organs. My least favorite parts of the dissection were removing the eggs and having to take the safety equipment off. The cleaning wasn't so bad, but when you had to remove the gloves the condition it left your hand in was excruciating. Your hands would be left in a weird condition when the talc from the gloves mixed with your sweat. However, when you washed your hands, you would feel relieved .http://www.weirdseamonsters.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/new-tree-frog.jpg.
