NewPath Earthworm Dissection 3-D Paper Model Making Kit - Individual Student Edition (17-7745)

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Using the colorful model, your students can carry out a simulated dissection of an earthworm, making the product an excellent means to prepare for a dissection or as an alternative to a real dissection. Students will assemble a model of the earthworm, including all of the specimen’s major organs. Following assembly, they can conduct a dissection within the classroom or at home to see how the parts interconnect. The model also serves as an excellent tool to look at different organ systems as well as for comparative anatomy. They then look at the organs and organ systems that make up an earthworm. The model covers the following features: pseudo hearts, dorsal and ventral blood vessels, mouth, pharynx, esophagus, crop, gizzard, intestine, brain (cerebral ganglia), nerve collar, ventral nerve cord, ganglia, nephridia, male and female parts. The Model Making Kit includes an easy-to-use, color Model Template to assemble a working model. Also included is a comprehensive Resource Guide providing illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
