''I remember it with my heart and with my stomach,'' said Mr. Schoenberg, a sponsor of a bill in that state to protect students who object to dissection, recalled with discomfort the dissections he did in biology classes at Ida Crown Jewish Academy in Chicago. In Illinois, State Representative Jeffrey M. ''We should give them the benefit of the doubt that they feel pain and suffer.'' ''We have a moral obligation not to mistreat animals,'' Mr. Frogs are used most commonly, but other animals, including cats, fetal pigs, rats and snakes, are also used for such purposes. Jonathan Balcombe, an associate director for education at the Humane Society of the United States, said growing unrest over dissection among environmentally conscious American students had forced many schools to offer an alternative.Ībout six million animals are killed each year for academic inquiry, Mr. Her mother, Pat Davis, runs the anti-dissection telephone line for students. The public backed her, and lawmakers in California ultimately passed legislation protecting students who held such views, the first law of its kind in the United States. Miss Graham became something of a celebrity, often called ''the frog girl,'' who had the courage to stand up to the schools in her defense of defenseless animals.

I could see an entire line of dissection apps opening up with even more advanced options and social media studying groups etc… Great work by Emantras Inc., and this is a must download in my opinion if you own an iPad.She complained that animals were being needlessly killed simply to be used for such projects.Ī state court ruled that the school could continue to require dissection in biology classes, but that only frogs that died naturally could be used. “The concept is great and the execution was wonderful. “Students who are budding animal rights activists can try to convince their teachers that for $2.99, it can maybe replace the real thing in class”.- NY1.com “A great option for anyone who wants to “dissect” a frog, without actually dissecting the frog”.-Eduinreview “A terrific way for students to learn about dissection”.- Macgasm “It's a great addition to the tools available for teachers to help their students learn”. Emantras Interactive Technologies disagrees and have created a quality frog dissection iPad app which can be used as an alternative to real frogs”. “Those that are in favor of the “traditional” dissection argue that there is no replacement for a real frog. “A realistic digital frog dissection program”.- School Tech Talk “A great first attempt at a virtual lab on the iPad”.- IEAR “All that is missing is the smell of Formaldehyde”. The following is a sampling of what the media is saying about Frog Dissection. The following are some schools that are either considering its use or are using it in their classrooms.Ī.D.
The app has been featured in schools that are exploring alternatives to real dissection.
Anatomical comparison of humans with frogs.Content validation by subject matter experts.Accurate simulation of the wet lab dissection procedure.Step by step instructions with voice over.For enhanced learning experience, the app also has information on the different types of frogs, frogs’ life cycle, anatomical comparison of frogs with humans, an interactive quiz and detailed descriptions of the organs. Vivid 3D images will help students visualize the internal organs very effectively. Once dissection is complete, the frog’s organs are exposed for further study. Students can try dissecting a virtual specimen with all the trappings that come with the real procedure-minus the mess of course! Besides a virtual chloroformed specimen, the app comes with all the dissection tools and detailed instructions to complete the procedure. This iPad app is suitable for middle-school students who are learning about organs and organ systems as part of their life science curriculum. ******* Featured by Apple “ New and Noteworthy ” & “ What’s Hot ” *******įrog Dissection from Punflay, is a greener alternative for teaching dissection in the classroom. ******* Featured in The Sunday Times- List of Top 500 Apps across all devices ******* ******* Winner of PeTA’s Mark Twain Ethical Science Award *******
