Tools for Teachers
Sample Lesson
Plan: Cat
Dissection alternatives are exceptionally
versatile educational tools, and when grouped together they
create a conceptually advanced experience for students and
teachers. This lesson plan serves as a model for similar topics
as well, and illustrates the wealth of information available
via these unique tools.
All materials listed are available
on loan through ESEC’s Loan
Library Program.
