Great lesson

Today, a robin flew into my window and died. My mom, being a biology teacher, thought it would be a great experience for my brother and me to dissect it on the kitchen table. She threatened to ground us if we didn't do it. FML

Good experience for when you have to do it in school but that's still horrifying. FYL.

So did you figure out the cause of death?

It most likely died by hitting the glass window. Clean windows are a bird killer!

I feel your pain. Whenever my school does dissection, I'm not allowed in the room due to the fact I hurl far to easily.

You should up her one and save the bird, stuff it and give it to her for valentines.

Think about it, if any one of your parents were a biology teacher they would probably do something like that......... If I were in that situation I wouldn't hesitate to do it!! It's because I've always wanted to be a surgeon, and I love stuff like that!!

Hahaha so many "abused" kids living on farms or remote places! Have to kill their own meat to LIVE.

Okay, as a science teacher...UGH. First, it's full of blood and parasites. Freeze it for a few days in a 50/50 mix of alcohol and water. Put a cut in the neck and try to drain out as much blood as possible first. Next, NEVER make kids dissect. My rule was always "You have to participate. If that means standing back and filling out the dissection diagram or reading instructions, that's fine." When they didn't HAVE to dissect, every single kid did every single time. Having kids cut up a fresh dead bird, on the kitchen table, and REQUIRING it? Um, NO. Just...NO. Bad move health-wise, bad move hygiene-wise, and a great way to traumatize a pair of kids and make them hate science :(
