Frog Dissection from Punflay, is a greener alternative for teaching dissection in the classroom. This iPad app is suitable for middle-school students who are learning about organs and organ systems as part of their life science curriculum. Students can try dissecting a virtual specimen with all the trappings that come with the real procedure-minus the mess of course! Besides a virtual chloroformed specimen, the app comes with all the dissection tools and detailed instructions to complete the procedure. Once dissection is complete, the frog\u2019s organs are exposed for further study. Vivid 3D images will help students visualize the internal organs very effectively. For enhanced learning experience, the app also has information on the different types of frogs, frogs\u2019 life cycle, anatomical comparison of frogs with humans, an interactive quiz and detailed descriptions of the organs.<\/p>\n
Key Features:
\n\u2022Vivid 3D imaging

\nThe following is a sampling of what the media is saying about Frog Dissection.
\n \u201cA good introductory biology tool\u201d. -Washington Times
\n\u201cAll that is missing is the smell of Formaldehyde\u201d. – San Francisco Business Times
\n \u201cA great first attempt at a virtual lab on the iPad\u201d.- IEAR
\n \u201cA realistic digital frog dissection program\u201d.- School Tech Talk
\n \u201cFrogs of the world, rejoice\u201d- Recombu
\n \u201cThose that are in favor of the \u201ctraditional\u201d dissection argue that there is no replacement for a real frog. Emantras Interactive Technologies disagrees and have created a quality frog dissection iPad app which can be used as an alternative to real frogs\u201d.-Technologyinclass.com
\n \u201cIt’s a great addition to the tools available for teachers to help their students learn\u201d.- Padgadget.com
\n \u201cA terrific way for students to learn about dissection\u201d.- Macgasm
\n \u201cA great option for anyone who wants to \u201cdissect\u201d a frog, without actually dissecting the frog\u201d.-Eduinreview
\n\u201cStudents who are budding animal rights activists can try to convince their teachers that for $2.99, it can maybe replace the real thing in class\u201d.- NY1.com
\n \u201cThe concept is great and the execution was wonderful. I could see an entire line of dissection apps opening up with even more advanced options and social media studying groups etc\u2026 Great work by Emantras Inc., and this is a must download in my opinion if you own an iPad.\u201d Slapapp
\nWhether you are an educator, parent or student, Frog Dissection will be a valuable tool to learn dissection the greener way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"******* Winner of PeTA\u2019s Mark Twain Ethical Science Award ******* ******* Winner of IEAR- Best Science App Award -2010 ******* ******* Featured in The Sunday Times- List of Top 500 Apps across all devices ******* ******* Featured by Apple \u201c New and Noteworthy \u201d & \u201c What\u2019s Hot \u201d ******* Frog Dissection from Punflay, is […]","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":11231,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[66,105],"blooms_verb":[229,233,280,402],"grade_level":[154,276,277],"discipline":[179,363,380],"fields_interest":[241,379],"contributor":[],"class_list":["post-456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-making-content-meaningful","tag-itunes","tag-references","blooms_verb-discover","blooms_verb-dissect","blooms_verb-identify","blooms_verb-understand","grade_level-6-8","grade_level-high-school","grade_level-higher-ed","discipline-biology","discipline-science","discipline-stem","fields_interest-education","fields_interest-stem"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456"},{"taxonomy":"blooms_verb","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blooms_verb?post=456"},{"taxonomy":"grade_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/grade_level?post=456"},{"taxonomy":"discipline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/discipline?post=456"},{"taxonomy":"fields_interest","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fields_interest?post=456"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ctl.mesacc.edu\/crossroads\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
