stem biology invertebrate comparison anatomy project
We are dissection and comparing 5 different invertebrates to understand how their bodies function in different ways. This lab is a part of our evolution unit.
The document below contains the table, paragraphs and questions in comparing the invertebrates
Reflection:
The one thing I found most interesting in this project was how with every animal we dissected, their body structure and functions became more complex. From the sponge with simple diffusion of food and waste, to the grasshopper with a digestive and circulatory system. I would like to know more about why did these animals evolve into more complex organisms and then how we as humans evolve into the extremely advanced organisms we are today. This project taught me a lot about the precision dissection of small animals and I really liked learning about the differences among the invertebrates.
