This week in science #8













  This week in science we were dissecting animals. Of course we were in groups but as partners. My partner & I were dissecting a crayfish. We looked at the crayfish nine different views. As shown in picture one that is called the Dorsal View. Dorsal view is the upper part of the organ. Ventral view is the opposite. It's looking at its stomach. The Anterior of the crayfish is below its eyes. They are able to survive in all bodies of water expect the oceans. There bodies are not designed well to deal with saltwater habitats. Also, my partner and I took pictures of the crayfish internal and external anatomy. 
  This week in science I learned a lot. I learned how to dissect a crayfish. I always learned what dorsal, ventral view was. I also learned what type of environment the cray can survive in, its's adaption. Where the anterior is located. I never looked at crayfish closed up or never dissect any animals. So everything to me was new.
