<p>We're starting the pig dissection next week, but we've already received the huge packet. Is anybody else doing a pig dissection. And has anybody found solutions online yet?</p>
<p>Oh boy. Good luck with the smell. :)</p>
<p>I did the pig dissection in pre-ap bio… I can’t believe we have to do that…</p>
<p>i second chris2k5, we dissected frogs last year and the smell was revolting. My friends and I had been warned by a friend that had science an earlier period, but some of the popular people weren’t so lucky. Several jocks ran into the bathroom to throw up! so funny :)</p>
<p>I like the smell of formaldehyde…</p>
<p>It’s not as bad as dissecting a cat in anatomy class for 2 weeks. Same cat…same room every day for 2 weeks.</p>
<p>Uhg…</p>
<p>We did a lot of dissecting in Life Science in middle school. I remember, I could take the worms. I was fine with the crawdads. I was looking forward to the cancelled star fish, but the frog made me want to gag. It was disgusting and revolting. I couldn’t imagine a pig…</p>
<p><em>shivers</em></p>
<p>No way in hell I could dissect a cat.</p>
<p>The cat would be painful for me, since I’m very much a cat person.</p>
<p>I’m jealous. We don’t do anything. We just have final projects…:[[</p>
<p>Yeah, my whole family is made up of cat people. Out of 12 people in my close family, we have 13 cats.</p>
<p>I would be so emotionally scarred if I even watched someone dissect a cat, let alone dissect one myself.</p>
<p>To be honest, I found the pig dissection to be one of the most interesting experiences in my honors bio class last year. Once you get past the part that it is kind of gross, it is actually really interesting to see the internal organs and such, and the brain.</p>
<p>We’re starting our cat dissection sometime next week.</p>
<p>Ok, so what do these formaldehyde coated cats actually look like?</p>
<p>We had to do it in Regular Biology as Freshmen. They made us name it before we stuck a knife into it. ;_;</p>
<p>We had to skin the cat so it had like a skin jacket. Then we had to cut and name specific muscles before getting to the internal organs. The smell was so bad that everyone would smell like cat for the rest of the day on top of some who gets cat juice on their shirts. To make things better, I had lunch right after it :-(.</p>
<p>I got used to the cat smell pretty quickly, and I have it AFTER lunch. I learned to breathe through my mouth and if it gets too overpowering, I go outside. Our cat is more like a puma than a cat. Its a beastly 20ish pounds and 3 feet long. It barely fits on the dissection tray too
Fondling the testicles and taking off the scrotum made me feel how utterly fragile my own ball sack is :-(</p>
<p>I did a cat in AP Bio last year… </p>
<p>Packet? That sucks… we just had two pages to fill in and staple together.</p>
<p>Good luck I dissected pig in anatomy. Actually it’s not that bad, I made my lab partners make the first incision though. It smells really gross :/</p>

<p>I like how you used the word “fondling.”</p>
