This Week In Science#8

This week in Science Tiffany and I dissected  PERCH. We turned it on the Ventral view because we thought it would be easier than to cut through the perch than on the Dorsal view. We dissected it from its Anterior , which is its head, and from there we opened its mouth. An Anterior is different from a Posterior . An Anterior is a head and a Posterior is oppisite of a head, which can be a tail, but in a perches case is is the fin. This is the perch we dissected.

What I learned this week in science is that a perch female, you can tell if is a female if it has 3 holes, if its a male it only has one. This perch that i dissected is a male, he only has one hole. So you know its a male. I was so excited to dissect, but these dead animals really smell gross!! And I also learned I am scared of anything dead! lol. I had an ahaha moment when I couldn't open the perches mouth and I had someone help me ! Dissecting was a fun yet weird expierence.
