At
Classical Conversations this week, we examined a crayfish and learned all about its exoskeleton. It was great fun, of course. Each family was able to take home a poor crayfish to examine some more, or if they chose, to dissect at home. P was sick yesterday and never got out of bed, so today we finally made time to dissect. Believe it or not, some people didn't want to take their critter home with them and we ended up with three of them, one each. My kids aren't scared of a little ol' crawdad ;)
First, we googled v
ideos on dissecting crayfish and found the one we thought was best. I have no idea what I am doing so am glad there are others that do and will share their knowledge with us.
