Frog Dissection from Punflay, is a greener alternative for teaching dissection in the classroom. This iPad app is suitable for middle-school students who are learning about organs and organ systems as part of their life science curriculum. Students can try dissecting a virtual specimen with all the trappings that come with the real procedure-minus the mess of course! Besides a virtual chloroformed specimen, the app comes with all the dissection tools and detailed instructions to complete the procedure. Once dissection is complete, the frog’s organs are exposed for further study. Vivid 3D images will help students visualize the internal organs very effectively. For enhanced learning experience, the app also has information on the different types of frogs, frogs’ life cycle, anatomical comparison of frogs with humans, an interactive quiz and detailed descriptions of the organs.

Key Features:

• Vivid 3D imaging
• Step by step instructions with voice over
• Accurate simulation of the wet lab dissection procedure
• Content validation by subject matter experts
• Anatomical comparison of humans with frogs
• Comprehensive information on frogs’ organs
• Classification, lifecycle and organ functions of frogs
• Interactive quiz on frogs
