Yesterday and today, we dissected frogs in science. It was pretty gross. As you probably guessed, it was a 2 day process. Yesterday we chose the frog of our choice from a big ol’ bucket of frogs in this solution (PU!!). It was gross, my partner made me get out our frog. Picture sticking your hand into this yucky smelling fluid through a pile of stiff, soggy, dead froggies. Then we each got 1 pair of gloves that we had to use today and save until tomorrow because we were “running low on gloves”, (my teacher doesn’t have to lie, there is whole cabinet full of latex gloves that everyone knows about. There must be a thousand pairs!). We didn’t even really need to use the gloves the first day, all we did was examine the frog’s external features. We were supposed to figure out if our frog was a boy or a girl frog by their thumbs. “Boys have bigger thumbs to hold the female while mating”…heh heh heh. Nobody could really see any difference in all the thumbs though so for day 1, our frog’s gender was a mystery. Well, when we were done with day 1, guess what my partner did. SHE THREW AWAY THE GLOVES!! I forgave her though. So, today was the gross day where we had to cut open the frog and cut out and examine our frog’s internal organs. Lucky us, no gloves. Well, SURPRISE! Our frog was a female. Boy, was she loaded, their were eggs EVERYWHERE! Behind her organs, in front of her organs, in between her organs, in her ribs! It was amazing, and gross… Why is caviare such a “rare” delicacy? Well, we were kinda frustrated because we got a small frog with cramped organs that stuck together and you couldn’t tell which organ was which. To let out some of our anger, we broke the frogs arms off. Ok, that was part of the reason, really it was because they were so stiff that we couldn’t move them out of the way of our “working” area. So we cut open the stomach to see any undigested food. We found parts of beetles, and guess what? This sick frog ate it’s own eggs!! At that moment, a kid in my class, “Brew”, threw his frog legs at us! I mean, one of the smartest kids in class who people get so annoyed with because he always tries to be an adult was immature! Well, that was the interesting stuff. THE END.
