91. Emantras’ Frog Dissection iPad App (√ Model App)*Cross Platform App / Assessment / Sample Lesson PlansFrog Dissection: Frog Dissection from Punflay, is a greener alternative for teaching dissection in the classroom. 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. Once dissection is complete, the frog’s organs are exposed for further study. Vivid 3D images will help students visualize the internal organs very effectively. 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. *Further information regarding the cost, feedback, and how to download: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/frog-dissection/id377626675?mt=8#
