Dissection in biology provides a hands-on education above and beyond reading a textbook. By seeing, touching and exploring different organs, muscles and tissues inside an animal and seeing how they work together allows you to really understand your own body and appreciate the amazing world around us. And it's not hard  - you can dissect a grasshopper right at home using this inexpensive specimen with a dissection guide and simple dissection tools! Many doctors, surgeons and veterinarians report that their first fascination with the body started with a biology dissection class.

    We don’t recommend finding your own grasshopper. We recommend purchasing one from the supplier listed above. This supplier humanely prepares and preserves each specimen.

    How do you kill the grasshopper before doing that? If you dont kill it thats just sad
