Perch Dissection (3-D Paper Dissection Model)

The Perch Dissection (3-D Paper Dissection Model) is designed to facilitate a rigorous exploration of bony fish (Osteichthyes) anatomy. Formerly a longtime favorite of the Getting Nerdy collection and now part of the Inside Out Science lineup, this resource provides a sophisticated, humane, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional specimen dissection. It is an inquiry-based lesson plan that integrates multiple learning modalities to ensure student mastery of vertebrate systems. 

The model features a scholarly yet accessible text detailing the structure and function of aquatic organ systems and includes both black-line and color-coded templates to accommodate diverse learner needs and instructional goals. A systematic PowerPoint presentation directs students through the coloring, excision, and assembly of a precise, reusable anatomical model.
