A huge thank you to Mr Marty Walshe, our local vet, who taught our year eight students a very interesting, fascinating session studying small mammal anatomy and physiology, using rabbits and lambs. We learned how to dissect to learn about all the body systems, such as skeletal, looking at bones, muscles and tendons, circulatory, involving the heart and blood vessels, including veins, arteries and capillaries, and the digestive system, including the oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines.
Wow, Mr Walshe is an awesome teacher, and we learned so much! We want to thank him very much for the time, effort and care he put into our lesson. Also, a big thank you to Mrs Taylor, who organises all our ag science lessons and field trips, and assisted Mr Walshe with this biology session.
Here are some pix of the session, taken by Mr Lewis.
Thanks Mr Walshe and Mrs Taylor for the dissection lesson. I learnt lots about how the lambs and rabbits run and how to know if the lamb has taken its first breath.

ReplyDeleteA big thanks to Mr Walshe and Mrs Taylor for organising dissection. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt so much about a lamb and rabbit! It was interesting to see what the lambs' lungs look like when they take a breath and to be able to tell if they have taken a breath or not!
