  1. First we put all of the newspaper down on the table.

  4. Next we used scissors to cut the plastic around the chicken open.
  5. We got the chicken out of the plastic wrapping.
  6. We got out all of the blood/goo from the chicken out.
  7. We got out the bag of organs. We had to throw them away.
  8. We then named the chicken (we named her Rosa). We made sure to check whether the chicken is male or female before naming.
  9. Then we put the chicken in the other tub.
  10. Then we put nearly all of the rubbing alcohol on the chicken and rubbed it all over the chicken. We put some of the alcohol inside the chicken using the butt as ouer access point.
  11. Then we drained the rubbing alcohol.
  12. And then we put the chicken in a clean tub, and and put the rest of the rubbing alcohol on it.

  14. We continued to rub the chicken with rubbing alcohol.
  15. Then we dried the chicken.

  17. We mixed the one pound of salt and one pound of the baking soda in  big tub.
  18. Then we poured the mixture into the tub that the chicken was in.
  19. We rubbed the mixture all over the chicken.
  20. Then we left the chicken to absorb the mixture.

Group Reflection (Discuss and answer these questions as a group)

 

How did your procedure today change from what you had planned?

We didn’t get to put the organs in the canopic jars. We had to throw them away. We ended up using a lot more rubbing alcohol than we expected.

 

Using the senses of sight, touch and smell, describe today’s experience.

Sight: The blood was disturbing but other than that we were fine.

Touch: It is really disgusting to put my hand in the chicken’s butt. We also had to put our hands into the lungs.

Smell: Horrible! As soon as we put on the rubbing alcohol we could barely breathe.

How did group roles support and/or challenge your group?

It was hard for the procedure police to be actively participating while while typing the whole procedure.

  1. I like how specific your group got in your procedure! Did you put the mixture inside the chicken too?

    I wonder how the procedure person could be more actively involved. What do you think?
