Supplemental Materials

• Frog Lab Assignment [pdf]
  • In-class laboratory assignment used in a 3rd-year undergraduate Animal Developmental Biology course. The assignment accompanies a hands-on activity using 3D plaster models and histological sections of Rana pipiens embryos. Students are asked to identify developmental stages, draw specific stages, and label embryonic axes, cell fates and embryonic structures in their drawings.
• Student Survey Summary [pdf]
  • Summary of student survey responses
• Materials and resources [pdf]
  • Resource information for the laboratory activity, including details about the plaster embryo models from the Ward Project collection and information on commercially available frog embryo histology slides from Carolina Biological Supply Company,
