Step 1: Confirmation

In order to confirm that you are qualified to do this dissection, you need:

• 1 responsible adult who will commit to supervising/assisting you during your dissection
• A well-lit, well-ventilated space where you can dissect your specimen
• A way to set up your camera so that you can be on Zoom while you are dissecting, so that your audience can see what’s going on.
• Email me once you have these things. That will to confirm your spot.

Step 2: Attend Safety Training

Next Thursday, Feb 4 meet on Zoom from 3-4 PM to talk about safety and go over training materials for your specimen.

Here’s the link. If you cannot attend for some reason, email me AHEAD OF TIME and I’ll send you the recording.

Step 3: Research and Preparation

Watch as many videos as you can about dissecting your specimen. Write (steps) for yourself so you know exactly what to do. Print out your list of steps and have them next to you as you work. I will work on providing you with as many resources as you need.
