SHARK DISSECTION RESEARCH
Each person in your dissection group will be responsible for a given system. For that system, you must be able to identify and explain the function of the parts of that system. Prepare a written report about your system including detailed, labeled drawings. The reports will be shared with the group as you dissect.
