In my third grade class we dissected fish. We have been learning about how different organisms breathe. We did it to cut out the gills and see what gills look like. It was gross and stinky and totally cool! The kids loved it. I showed them how to cut out the gills first while they watched then they took a turn. They worked in 3 groups and took out the gills. They were so brave! In fact after they cut out the gills they wanted to cut out the eyeball, then a fin, then scales, then cut open the belly and take out the guts. It was a lesson that they won’t soon forget. Lin was the only one who didn’t like it. Her eyes were all watery and she kept coughing. She stood about 8 feet away from her group and just watched from afar.

| This group cut off the fish head then I pretended to make it talk. The tongue popped out and they all squealed! Haha! |
I love this story and the pictures! It's fun to see the kids faces and how they reacted to the slimy fish. ~R
