Squids have unique features that allow them to quickly change colors and to defend themselves against predators. They have well developed nervous systems and large brains. Students will dissect a preserved squid specimen and locate external anatomical structures including the head, eyes, tentacles and suction cups. Internal structures to be observed include the heart, reproductive glands, gills, ink sac and siphon.
These courses are for 6th-12th graders.
