I have to dissect a frog tomorrow in science. I don't wanna☹️ My mom doesn't really care about my suffering. Has anyone here done it? If so, please don't tell me anything bad about it ( it will sink into my brain forever and I'll have a nervous breakdown tonight *_*)
What's some stuff that makes it not so bad? Are there any upsides? I NEED REASSURANCE!
*breaks down*

@rileytibbles_side

It's just a frog, It isn't ugly inside. You just slide the knife and tell: "I'm sorry God for killing this inocent Frog... CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES!!! YUMMY!" and you'll forget about all you dislike about it.

rileytibbles_side • 20 May 2012 at 8:56 PM

@calla
I know its just a frog and all that, but it still seems gross... They're already dead when you get them so I won't have to kill it. But still...

@rileytibbles_side

Uhmm... think it's a rotten pizza? Then, I don't know how to control that fear...

whispers • 20 May 2012 at 8:58 PM

@rileytibbles_side
I feel for you. :c I had to do it in 6th grade...and me and @pegasasu were working in a group together, then some people vomited during the process.
I barely made it out alive.
So bring in a mask, goggles, gloves, and air freshener [ to make your clothes not smell yucky afterwards] x]

rileytibbles_side • 20 May 2012 at 9:07 PM

@whispers
We're doing it in 7th. I feel so much better now *is sarcastic*

go4ward • 20 May 2012 at 9:08 PM

I had to do it a few days ago.

Will you have a lab partner?

whispers • 20 May 2012 at 9:08 PM

@rileytibles_side
Yeah. I heard in 6th grade I was supposed to do a bull's eye this year *feints*
But we is going to the zoo this year in 7th grade *w00t*

But I'm not the person to say good things about dissecting a frog XD

@rileytibbles_side
I did it earlier this year (7th grade) and I was fine. My trick: Don't think of it as a real frog. Think of it as a very realistic rubber model. 😋

snow_angel618 • 20 May 2012 at 9:15 PM

@rileytibbles_side I have t dissect a fetal pig tomorrow o-e I feel your pain xD

go4ward • 20 May 2012 at 9:18 PM

For me it wasn't that bad because my lab partner wanted to do most of the work. So all I really had to do was pin down the skin (which sounds worse than it is) there is no blood or anything and if you concentrating on learning you can try to view it as an educational rather than scarring experience.

pebblestar-nightclan • 20 May 2012 at 9:21 PM

Honestly, to me, dissecting sounds fun. 😊 We're dissecting owl pellets sometime this week (eek! Can't wait!), and then sometime a cow's eye. A frog probably, too.

ThankFatherandMotherforonlineschoolrofl


I'm going to have to so a lot of gross stuff in vet school. So it's really just procrastination on my part.


Waahhh. I'm sorry for your pain.


The only thing that will really bother me in vet school is the dissecting of animals. Why not learn the basic biology online, and then dissect an animal that mysteriously died and try to figure out why it died; not raise something just to be cut open for information you can easily obtain from books or online resources. May be the Wicca in me talking, but that's just wasteful in my eyes.

I dissected a cow eye, a raw chicken wing, an squid and an fish c:

go4ward • 20 May 2012 at 9:37 PM

Ew.

My brother once dissected a sheep eye.

My employer once dissected a baby pick.

I have dissected an owl pellet before! 😃

@Rileytibbles_side I heard that next year, in seventh grade, we get to dissect frogs and rats. ^^ Personally I think it's a lot of fun. On Friday in math we watched a vid about crocodiles. They were dissecting it and everyone was creeped out and I was just like: "Oh, cool!"

I'm looking forward to dissecting something. Besides, it's not like you have to kill it, they're already dead before you get them. ;D

@Go4ward My mom bought calamari one time, the entire squid. So we dissected them to prepare them for cooking.
We dissected owl pellets in the fourth grade too. ^^

go4ward • 20 May 2012 at 9:59 PM

I dissected an owl pellet once on a field trip and once in reading club.

rileytibbles_side • 21 May 2012 at 4:45 PM

I've dissected an owl pellet before in 5th grade. I actually enjoyed it!

dionaea • 21 May 2012 at 4:58 PM

I had to dissect a rat during the first year of my biology bachelor, I'd say don't worry about it being really gross, because it doesn't look that gross. The worst thing was the smell, so the best advise I can give you is to make sure you eat enough at least an hour before or so, so you're not hungry/bloated when you go at it, believe me, not a good idea...

@rileytibbles_side

my friend told me this:
the insides only looked like computer parts. the worst thing is the smell.

cotton • 21 May 2012 at 5:05 PM

@rileytibbles_side OMG OUR FROG WAS HUGE!! DD: And Paul kept screaming!! Lol. But they smelled gross. D:

Tomorrow's gonna be so nasty when we actually look inside it.. 0.0

rileytibbles_side • 21 May 2012 at 5:06 PM

@cotton
I KNOW!!!! UGGGGHHH! We had the biggest frog in the class and my group was like throwing it around and like messing it up! It made me angry

cotton • 21 May 2012 at 5:10 PM

@rileytibbles_side EWHHH!!
But it REALLY helps if you wear your goggles upside-down. You can't smell anything, but you can still breathe through your nose, and it's actually way more comfortable. 😃
Was your frog a boy or a girl?

rileytibbles_side • 21 May 2012 at 5:11 PM

@cotton
Good idea! It stinks ;_;
Ours was a boy. Thank God it won't have eggs...

cotton • 21 May 2012 at 5:12 PM

@rileytibbles_side IKR! Some of them will have eggs o.o Ours was a guy too. We're gonna name him. XDD

rileytibbles_side • 21 May 2012 at 5:13 PM

@cotton
We named ours JulioshaniquaDeShaunPedroliscious
Do you have any park bench travels UFT?
