Since my 10 year old decided she just HAD to dissect the fetal pig that my teen never did when she did high school biology, and thus I was looking for fetal pig dissection resources for her, I have collected all the best here for you!

Two years ago when we did a frog dissection for my oldest, my little one couldn’t get enough of it! But this makes since because she has a strong interest in being a vet or a vet tech when she grows up. Her siblings are not so keen!  For that reason this year when my son had to do a frog dissection for his middle school biology course, I opted to find virtual resources so he could do a virtual frog dissection instead.

Fetal Pig Dissection Resources

We are using all of the resources listed here for our impromptu dissection. I found easy to follow written and video instructions, photos, and printables to make our experience as simple as possible. We set up at the desk, in front of the computer so she can easily be dissecting and using the computer aids for assistance. I put a paper towel over the mouse so she didn’t have to take her glove on and off every time she needed to click between websites and diagrams.
