Lamprey Dissection (3-D Paper Dissection Model)

The Lamprey Dissection (3-D Paper Dissection Model) offers an advanced, ethical approach to studying one of the planet's most ancient vertebrate lineages. Formerly a long-standing favorite of the Getting Nerdy collection and now part of the Inside Out Science lineup, this comprehensive curriculum facilitates a rigorous examination of lamprey anatomy and physiology. The module includes an in-depth analysis of structural systems and evolutionary history, complemented by a guided PowerPoint presentation for step-by-step assembly. It features both black-line and color templates for the full specimen and specialized oral structures. Designed to mirror the precision of a physical lab, the model serves as an effective dissection alternative, pre-lab preparation tool, or post-lab assessment. By utilizing a standardized color-coding system for organs, the model allows students to synthesize complex anatomical data and draw comparative connections across vertebrate species. This humane, cost-effective solution provides a clean, reusable method for exploring the foundational complexities of vertebrate life.
