• What is the value of dissecting?

It’s important because if we didn’t dissect then 1. populations will have more than it needs messing up the rhythm 2. so we can get accurate descriptions.

• How did the dissection help you understand what is happening between the sea lamprey and the trout?

It got me thinking about how the sea lamprey actually affects other animals.

• How did you feel about dissection? If you enjoyed the process, why did you enjoy it? If you did not enjoy it, what was difficult about it?

I liked the second part because I knew what was coming after the first. Because we got to look inside the lamprey and got to cut it ourselves. Actually cutting the animal because of the sound it makes.
