This science kit is a time-saving choice for your homeschool! It contains everything needed to do the four optional dissection labs in Apologia's
Exploring Creation with Biology, including a 15-piece advanced dissecting tool set, dissecting pan, frog dissection guide, and four preserved specimens (frog, perch, crayfish, and earthworm). Our
special order form lists all of the items in this kit.
You can order this kit now even if you will be doing the dissections later in the year. This kit also goes well with the Bob Jones HomeSat biology course.
If you want only the dissection specimens, you can order them individually: frog, perch, crayfish & worm.
Note: Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced first with water and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which can be stored almost indefinitely. We recommend that you use specimens within one year of purchase to ensure the best tissue quality. Specimen discoloration over time is normal and does not indicate decay.
Store your specimens at normal room temperature--refrigeration is
not required. Storage in attics or garages at high temperatures will damage the specimens. Once opened, specimens can be resealed in a Zip-lock bag to prevent them from drying out for later use.
