Year 11 students at Cambridge have the unique opportunity to learn science in an innovative way - by dissecting a real kidney. This hands-on experience gives students a chance to explore the anatomy of a kidney, while also learning the science behind it. Through this experience, some students may even discover their interest in pursuing a career in medicine. By providing this opportunity, Cambridge is helping to nurture future doctors and scientists who will go on to make great contributions to our world.
Dissection is also important because it: Helps students learn about the internal structures of animals. Helps students learn how the tissues and organs are interrelated. Gives students an appreciation of the complexity of organisms in a hands-on learning environment.
