Last week, Dr. McPherron and Superintendent Lambert had the unique opportunity to step inside a science lab at RHHS and observe class, where Mrs. Reed, our Zoology and Anatomy & Physiology teacher, led her students through some dissection labs.
𓇼 𝗗𝗿. 𝗠𝗰𝗣𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻 joined the starfish dissection and even suited up with gloves to feel the starfish before the lesson began. The students were eager to share what they had learned, confidently explaining the different parts and answering our questions like pros. It was clear they had not only absorbed the material but were genuinely engaged in the learning process.
🐷 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 visited during the fetal pig dissection and said the experience was fascinating and enlightening. He was especially impressed by the students’ thoughtful questions, answers, and careful observations.
These labs aren’t just about memorizing parts of an organism, they help bring science to life. Dissection gives students the chance to explore real anatomical structures, deepening their understanding of how organisms function and preparing them for future studies in biology, medicine, veterinary science, and more.
The specimens used in these labs were sourced from Carolina Biological Supply, a trusted educational provider that supports K-12 and college classrooms with high-quality science materials. Their mission is to help schools create meaningful, hands-on science experiences that connect classroom learning to the world around us.
