Description
Created for the Novare General Biology Dissection Labs. This kit includes all the specimens and dissecting tools needed to complete all the dissections in the Apprentice’s Companion for General Biology. Contents include a dissecting tool case, dissection tools (forceps, dissection pins, ruler, scalpel blades and handle, dissecting scissors, curving teasing needle, straight teasing needle, gloves (6 pr.), dissection pan, and the following specimens: mammal heart, mammal kidney, fetal pig, frog, earthworm, grasshopper, crayfish, clam, perch, starfish, and sponge. Note: Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, known to be the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced first with water and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which will not decay over time.
This product can expose you to chemicals including Formaldehyde, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, and Methanol, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Publisher's Description of Novare General Biology Dissection Kit

Category Description for Novare Science Courses
Novare (no-VAH-ray) is Latin, meaning to renew or begin again. The authors feel that science education in our country needs to be renewed using research, scientific evidence and forward-thinking strategies while keeping God at the helm. Students are taught to see God in creation, while learning current scientific theories that support an old-earth creation. Using a mastery approach, students learn fewer topics in more depth than typical courses. Memorization and review are key with minimal written work. Science, math, science history, and English language usage are integrated. Several Novare courses are used by Memoria Press for their academic rigor and are a good choice for students who need challenging science courses and college prep. Each course offers a recommended downloadable Digital Resource that includes assessments and course planning resources that are helpful for homeschool families, co-ops and classrooms. Resources are reproducible for classroom use. Self-created lab journals and reports are suggested to prepare students for high school and college science material. Also available is a helpful Student Lab Report Handbook for more instruction. See each individual course for content and available supports.
