Welcome to the Virtual Fetal Pig Dissection.

Our simulation of the dissection of the fetal pig was designed to provide an alternative exercise for students in our introductory biology class as well as provide review material for students prior to their lab practical exam.

If you want a fuller explanation of why we developed this simulation please read our essay published in 1999.

We welcome off-campus use of this simulation. However, for proper use you must configure your browser with up-to-date Shockwave plug-ins that allow viewing of Macromedia Director animations. These Shockwave plug-ins are free and available .

After you have visited the site we would appreciate your comments. Please help us improve this site and justify to funding agencies that their money was well spent.
