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.


  • Several pipe cleaners 
  • 2 Beakers, glasses, or jars of water (take care near electronics)
  • a funnel (or the cut off top of a plastic bottle would also work)
  • Glitter (if none available, a piece of tin foil and scissors might do)
  • A cloth for spills


For those who wish to do their own dissection at home:


  • Fresh fish head
  • Tray
  • Sharp scissors (take care with sharps, supervision recommended). If using a large fish head species you may need pliers, heavy duty scissors or a sharp knife and adult support.
  • Soap & warm water for thorough hand washing afterwards


Links suggest sources of appropriate resources



What might younger students need help with?

If doing the dissection at home, supervision is strongly recommended with younger children. They may need help handling a slippery fish and using sharp scissors. Some children may need support and preparation to view a live dissection on screen.
