Dissecting the Pigs

On Friday we opened up two piglets. Why? Because we were learning about the body system and where the organs were in the body. We also were looking where the muscles were.

It was sort of nasty because of the smell of the pigs, but then again it was cool. When they cut open the pigs one of the pigs blood was like blue chemicals and the other pigs blood was normal blood. When they let us touch the organs, the organs were really squishy. I thought I was going to puke.

I learned that the smaller the animal is the smaller the organs are. It was really fun and smelly. The best part was looking inside the pig and touching the organs. I wonder if we touch a real pig that was not put in chemicals would we get sick? Hmm. I wonder. That’s what I learned and wondered on Friday.
