Dissecting for the Young Scholar

 

 

Visit your local butcher.  Generally, butchers will give you eyeballs, lungs and a variety of other parts for FREE since they are thrown out anyway.

 

Strong Recommendation:
Flirt with your husband so he will take your young scholars outside to dissect. 

Eyeballs
With respect to the eyeballs, you may want to get two for each of your scholars.  Why?  Usually, the first eyeball tends to be hacked up and the second eyeball is where you or your husband will be able to explain each part of the eyeball.

Lungs
In like fashion, you can also hook up the lungs to an old-fashioned bicycle pump to virtually show your children HOW lungs work.

Microscope
Moreover, if you have a microscope, you can take small bits from both the eyeballs, lungs and other parts having your scholar to look at them under the microscope.
