What value do you think dissection and animal testing serve science? Defend your argument in at least three paragraphs.When you are done, you may put your warm-up in your folder to turn in, and get out a sheet of paper to take notes. Warm-up (Mini-essay)

Warm-up What lab safety rules must we follow in order to protect ourselves, our classmates, and to respect the life of the fetal pig during the dissection lab?
Decide on ventral-incision style based upon the gender of your fetal pig Making the Incisions:
Dissection tip: Start above the umbilical cord Always cut pulling upward Making the Incisions:
Which systems will we explore through dissection? • Digestive System – Day One • Respiratory System – Day Two • Circulatory System – Day Two • Excretory System – Day Three • Reproductive System – Day Three Each day, before we begin, we will explore a virtual dissection online: http://www.whitman.edu/biology/vpd/main.html
