Dissection in biology provides a hands-on education above and beyond reading a textbook. By seeing, touching and exploring different organs, muscles and tissues inside an animal and seeing how they work together allows you to really understand your own body and appreciate the amazing world around us. And it’s not hard  – you can dissect a frog right at home using an inexpensive specimen with a dissection guide and simple dissection tools! Many doctors, surgeons and veterinarians report that their first fascination with the body started with a biology dissection class.

In today’s dissection, we’ll be looking at a frog. Frogs are members of the Class Amphibia. There are many things that make frogs interesting: they live both in water and on land, they actually begin life in water as limbless tadpoles, and some can change color depending on their environment.
