Note: You can order this dissection kit now even if you won't be using it until later in the school year.
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 for later use in a Zip-lock bag to prevent them from drying out.

SUPER SCIENCE FAIR PRIZEReviewed 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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

"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.

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.

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!
