Dissections are a regular part of the Biology classroom, but for many reasons, they can prove to be difficult. Some students (and teachers) have ethical issues with dissection real animals. Some schools may not have the budget, or the materials needed to perform real dissections.

Frog Dissection is an app available for iPad. It offers an alternative to real dissections in Biology class.

 

The Good:

• Ethical choice for those against dissections
• Provides a visual for students
• Interactive

The Bad:

• $5.00
• No where to make a mistake. When you click on “cut”, it cuts a perfect line, exactly where it should
• Some glitches

Overall, The app is OK, but I think there are better alternatives. Frog Dissection is an old app, and has some flaws, so as a science teacher, I would use a different app, not this one!
