Frog Dissection (3-D Dissection Paper Model)

Frog Dissection (3-D Dissection Paper Model) gives students the excitement of hands-on anatomy exploration—without the mess, smell, or stress of real specimens. A longtime favourite from Getting Nerdy, these dissection models have moved to Inside Out Science. It gives a great blend of compassion, curiosity, and classroom engagement, helping students learn from the inside out. This model lesson includes a student-friendly reading that explores vertebrate anatomy and physiology, color and black-line templates for differentiation, and a guided PowerPoint presentation that walks students through how to color, cut, and assemble their own realistic 3-D frog. Students can “dissect” their model again and again, reinforcing key anatomy concepts through repetition and creativity.

Designed to mimic an authentic dissection, this Scienstructable 3-D paper model can be used as a dissection-free alternative, a pre-lab prep tool, or a comparative anatomy assessment. Teachers value the tool for introducing lab safety and structure-function relationships, while students who opt out of dissection appreciate the realistic, ethical experience it provides.

Every Inside Out Science model uses consistent color-coding and includes templates for both sexes (where applicable), allowing students to identify organs and systems, observe anatomical relationships, and make meaningful cross-species comparisons. Eco-friendly, budget-conscious, and endlessly reusable, this 3-D frog dissection model proves that science can be both humane and hands-on. Furthermore, this model adheres to modern Three Rs standards (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement), offering an eco-friendly and scent-free experience that accommodates students opting out of traditional dissections.

A vinyl version is also available.
