Dissection Kit
Reviewed By: Lori 
Great kit - we ordered it to use with Bob Jones Biology - everything we needed was included plus extras! We were concerned that once we opened the kit the smell would be strong for storing the unused specimens but it isn't strong at all. You may want to order extra pins though - it takes a lot to hold open specimen for exploration. We are very happy with the quality.

Shocking -- but good Christmas present
Reviewed By: Barb 
My daughter was not expecting this for a Christmas present, however, she has now started using it. The tool kit is of nice quality and the specimens are packaged very well. She started with the fish. She wishes the diagrams for dissection were a little more clear, but she was just interested in getting started rather than reading the little chapter about what to do.

Great Kit for the Biology Enthusiast
Reviewed By: Debra in TX 
I ordered this kit as a gift for my zoologist-wannabe daughter, and I was thrilled to see her reaction. Not only are there plenty of varied specimens to study, but the guidebook and tools are all there. I ordered a set of extra pins, and she is on her way to a better understanding of animal anatomy. Thanks for such a comprehensive offering. :)

Kids were so excited they wanted to open it right then and there and start their class. Will be ordering more in the future.

My student is happy and very fasinated and completely enjoys science. Thank You for the great purchase.  -  Monday, November 07, 2011 Quality Product Reviewed By: Flora Davis  I ordered this kit for my 10th grade biology students, and was amazed at the quality of the specimens included in the kit. This was my first time using Home Training Tools, but will certainly not be the last.  -  Wednesday, June 01, 2011 Advanced Dissection Kit Reviewed By: Denise McLauhlin  This Kit is awesome. It really is. As I homeschool, I look for products which not only have great visuals but hands on. This kit does just that. This kit was sooo interesting that other family members AND friends were getting involved with the learning process. As for the older graduated ones, is was a re-learning experience as well. I would recommend this kit to ANY homeschooling family without a doubt!  -  Wednesday, February 23, 2011 Great Package Reviewed By: Mindy  The collection of specimens is great. It offers a simple beginning and a more challlenging progression. The included tools are well made and nicely packaged. I highly recommend to any budding biologist!  -  Tuesday, February 16, 2010 No Sponge... Reviewed By: M. Wright  This was great, and fun... But had came with no sponge.  -  Monday, April 06, 2009 SUPER SCIENCE FAIR PRIZE Reviewed By: Lisa Willmon  Our homeschool group purchased this dissection kit as the grand prize in our Science Fair. My 10-year-old son won it and has lived and breathed dissection for the past two weeks! He's not just dissecting; he's reading about the animals, the tools, the procedures. This affordable kit opens wide the possibility in science to young minds!  -  Thursday, October 16, 2008 What a bargain! Reviewed By: Jeri Beasley  This is a high quality kit! The tools are sturdy. The dissection tray holds up lab after lab. The many specimens are in perfect condition. The variety kept my students' interest for many labs. Because of the price, I am able to offer a high quality 'class' to my children/students! I've ordered from Home Science Tools a few times. The shipping is always fast, and I'm never missing anything. It always comes packaged well.  -  Friday, September 05, 2008 Terrific Product!! Reviewed By: Laurie  I used these dissection kits with my oldest daughters and a co-op class a few years ago and have now ordered (and promptly received!) more kits for another co-op that my next set of high schoolers will use. The sets are complete, the specimens are preserved very well and do not have overpowering odors, the dissection tools are of excellent quality, and the dissection guide book is AWESOME! The first time I ordered these kits, I was so nervous about being able to really help my kids understand and perform the dissections. NO worries, though, as the book explains everything you need to know! Thanks, Home Science Tools, for making homeschool science so easy to teach.  -  Thursday, August 28, 2008 Truly...Satisfaction Guaranteed! Reviewed By: Paulette McClantoc  I was so pleased with the prompt shipping and quality of the product when received. My daughter has been anxious to get started on dissecting and, although I was a little hesitant with the fetal pig, the condition of the specimens and helpful instructions made the process easy and informative. I love to see the excitement on my daughter's face at the prospect of experimentation. Thanks to your quality products, I look forward to seeing that excitement again and again.  -  Wednesday, June 04, 2008 A Great Deal and a Wonderful Kit! Reviewed By: Cami Beaudry  My 6 and 9 year old girls had been asking to dissect a frog, because they had done it online. I was *sure* this would prove to be too messy, too smelly, and far too expensive to just do for fun. Imagine our delight when we found this amazing, affordable kit! Perfect! The specimens require almost no "extra" care (ie freezing, etc), it came quickly, the tools are good and *work*, and the dissection book gave me the step-by-step instructions to guide them through the dissections. Highly recommended!  -  Saturday, March 01, 2008 "Awesome!!" - He actually said that out loud. Reviewed By: Cathie Botts  We took our son out of public school this year, and it's too cool to be able to do hands on, authentic, science class stuff at the kitchen table. The only thing I would recommend is buying an extra box of T-pins. They sell those too.  -  Monday, December 03, 2007 MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!!!!!!!! Reviewed By: Robin Slater  I was very surprised with the quality of this kit. I expected cheap instruments but instead received high quality stainless steel instruments. The dissecting pan is very durable and holds the specimen in place very well. The specimens were also much better than expected, very well preserved with very low oder. My 8 year old daughter has requested more specimens to dissect. This is a great way to get your kids involved in science and have fun together.  -  Wednesday, October 04, 2006 A Great Product for Dissection Education!! Reviewed By: Rhonda Morgan  This dissection kit is perfect for helping students to see and understand the variances between body systems and structures. The variety of well preserved and prepared specimens allows students to compare and contrast anatomical structure and function among many different species. The tools in the kit are of high quality and are perfect for performing necessary tasks. The text is informative and procedures are outlined in easy-to-follow format which enables the student and teacher to proceed with confidence in what they are doing. I plan to order kits for each of my students to use in the coming months in my anatomy and physiology class. Truly a great product for the money!
