![3-D Dogfish Shark Model [200x150, 12K]](http://www.cephalopodcast.com/img/pic/pic_061225b.jpg)
The Delaware Sea Grant program has a neat resource for educators. I mentioned it in the latest podcast, but wanted to bump it up to its own post too. Here’s the description from their annual report:
Learn all about the smooth dogfish shark as you put together your very own 3-D paper model! This eight-page, full-color project meets the National Science Education Standards. It includes background on sharks, the model parts to cut out with scissors and tape together, and a crossword puzzle to test your knowledge. Cost: $1. Contact: Marine Public Education, (302) 831-8083.

Unfortunately, there is no further Internet-based info that I could find, so you will have to call to find out more. Or listen to the SeaTalk Radio PSA about the model [mp3].
(Tip of the tentacle to Elizabeth and Kimberly for the resource.)
UPDATE: I notice that a lot of people searching for dogfish dissections end up finding this post. If you need illustrations of a Squalus acanthias dissection, check out BIODIDAC. They have photos and line drawings to help you. Keyword search: dogfish. Available in English and French.

There is an order form for the publication here: http://www.ocean.udel.edu/seagrant/publications/puborderform.html
You can now check out a picture of the completed model and see what else is new on the updated Delaware Sea Grant publications page.
That is pretty cool, I’ve seen paper models before, but not for sea creatures.
