Animalearn's Newest Humane Educational Kit
Our Animal Profiles, includes fact sheets on five of the most commonly dissected animals (cat, rat, pig, earthworm, crayfish). Our goal with these fun kits is to give younger students from K-5 a better appreciation and respect for these animals and make them reconsider dissecting them once they are faced with dissecting in the higher grades.
