The things I did in science this week was re-kill a frog. We had 4 different jobs in this process. They are the Surgeon, Assistant, Navigator, and the Photographer. I was the Assistant. My job was to help the Surgeon with the dissection. During the two days, I was grossed out. Science the Surgeon was out for the first day, I had to begin the dissection, or as I say, the 'Killing'. I cut open our frog, Steve, and apologized multiple times. I felt so bad. During the second day, we cut out the organs of Steve's body, emptying out his body. Even more disgusting than the first day. I'm sorry Steve.
During the two day process of the dissection, I learned many things about Steve. One thing I learned is that a frog's tongue seems to shrink when it's dead, because Steve's tongue was small. Another thing I learned is that most of there organ are similar to ours. Just like humans, they have hearts, livers, kidneys, stomachs, balls, and/or eggs. The only difference is that their livers are over their hearts, and the balls are on the inside. Very interesting, and awkward.
