Let the dissections begin! Also, let the nasty smells begin. River City High School’s science department will start dissections in February. The biology classes will dissect two vertebrates, a fish and a frog. They will also dissect some invertebrates such as the earthworm, the grasshopper, and the crayfish.

Mr. Medina’s physiology class will dissect a fetal pig, a sheep’s heart, and a sheep’s eyeball. They will compare these specimens with the human anatomy.
