Specimens provided in the General Zoology Survey Sets offer the flexibility to use as teacher demonstration models or for dissection by students working in groups at separate stations. In General Zoology Survey Set 1, students study 14 different animal specimens (sycon sponge, hydra, starfish, earthworm, snail, mussel, spider, crayfish, beetle, grasshopper, butterfly, honey bee, perch, frog) comparing various structures relating to digestion, circulation, respiration, and reproduction. A detailed teacher's manual is included in the set and contains reproducible student blackline masters, background information, dissection instructions for each animal specimen, extension activities and reflection questions. General Zoology Survey Set 2 does not contain snail and spider.
