Equipment (To join an entirely optional practical)


It is a good idea to have a whiteboard or paper, pen, ruler and calculator to hand in each session.


  • Plastic funnel (around 7cm diameter or similar)
  • Balloon (rounded shape + spare)
  • Scissors
  • Cardboard tube, eg. kitchen roll inner (or silicone tubing is better if you have it, the diameter should be sufficient to fit snugly over the spout of your funnel, and with a minimum length of about 30cm)
  • Duct / gaffa / tough tape
  • No heart required! The dissection will be done live on screen during the session for students to watch, but you are welcome to get hold of a heart to join in with your own dissection at home if you would like to.


Links suggest sources of appropriate resources


What might younger students need help with?

Younger students may need support and preparation to view the dissection of real organs.

They may need help using tape and scissors carefully and accurately.
