     This week in science we did some pretty disgusting stuff. We dissected an earth worm, a craw fish, and a giant cricket. My group took pictures and drew pictures of the creatures we dissected, which was the craw fish. We saw the heart of the craw fish and the gills that were inside of the craw fish's tough armored skin. We also took dorsal and side photos of the fish before getting crazy with the dissecting. We also used scalpel and the scissor for the first time during a dissection with a creature.
     This week in science I learned how to dissect different species such as the earth worm, a cray fish and a giant cricket. I also learned how to hold and use the scalpel and scissor the correct and appropriate way. I learned that I like dissecting things. I didn't know cray fish had gills inside their of their bodies unlike fish, who have it outside their bodies. I learned that Angela likes to play with the disgusting earth worms. And lastly I learned the different views of the dissections. A couple are the proximal view, dorsal view and the ventral view.
