Safety in dissection

The Year 5 to 9 science coordinator at Ryan Catholic College leads the students through a dissection examining the internal and external structures of the heart.  The teacher explains what the students should be examining and outlines safety rules before commencing. The activity encourages the students to explore biological concepts and establishes real life connections to the science concepts being studied.

Ryan Catholic College was established in 1979 to serve the rapidly developing areas on the outskirts of Townsville and the corridor development of the Upper Ross area. The College was planned as a co-educational institution from its inception for children from Preschool to Year 12. The curriculum in Years 5 to 9 has been designed to expose students to a diverse range of disciplines that will enable them to explore where their talents and interests lie.
