Do you have any dissection videos?
Yes, Dr. Robin’s School includes dissection videos as part of the Every Body’s Human Biology curriculum. These videos offer a unique opportunity to explore real anatomical structures and gain a deeper understanding of how the body works. For example, the curriculum includes a heart dissection and a liver dissection.
Important Note about Dissections:
We understand that dissections are not appropriate for every child or family. These videos are entirely optional and can be skipped without impacting the core learning experience. The curriculum is designed to be comprehensive and engaging even without the dissection components.
Why include dissection videos?
For some students, dissections can significantly enhance learning by:
- Providing a real-world view: Seeing actual anatomical structures can make the concepts more concrete and relatable.
- Improving spatial reasoning: Dissections help students visualize the three-dimensional relationships between different organs and tissues.
- Sparking curiosity: Exploring real specimens can ignite a passion for science and discovery.
Parental Guidance is Key:
We strongly encourage parents to preview the dissection videos before their child views them and discuss any concerns or questions they may have. You are the best judge of what is appropriate for your child.
If dissections are not something your family is comfortable with, please rest assured that the Every Body’s Human Biology curriculum provides a rich and comprehensive learning experience without them. The numerous other hands-on activities, models, and visual resources offer alternative ways to explore human anatomy and physiology.
