Starfish Dissection

Today we met a group of homeschoolers at the park to dissect a Starfish!  We had so much fun!  The girls shared a starfish which was a bit of a problem since Lauren tends to take over and push Lyndsey to the side!! Lauren did let Lyndsey try to dissect portions of the star when I stepped in and made her!  
 Ms. Jennifer led the kids through the dissection.  We located the central disc and eye spots before the cutting began!  The girls opened up the sea star to see the vascular system, stomachs and skeletal plates.  I was impressed with their surgeon skills!  They did a great job today!
