The Sponge Dissection (3-D Paper Dissection Model) provides a sophisticated, ethical framework for studying the animal kingdom’s most ancestral organisms, Porifera. Now part of the Inside Out Science collection (formerly Getting Nerdy), this model facilitates a comprehensive understanding of invertebrate anatomy, cellular organization, and the biological efficiency of filter-feeding systems.
The module features technical readings covering poriferan physiology and functional adaptations, as well as both black-line and color schematics to support diverse learning needs. Additionally, a guided PowerPoint presentation ensures precise assembly of the 3-D specimen. Engineered to replicate the educational rigor of a physical laboratory, this Scienstructable model functions as a versatile dissection alternative, pre-lab orientation, or summative assessment for units on classification and comparative anatomy. By employing a standardized color-coding system, the resource enables students to track anatomical commonalities across the entire animal phylogeny. This reusable, eco-friendly tool offers a compassionate and detailed method for examining biological structure and function without the need for traditional specimens.
