Continuing with our tour of supplementary material made available by your local Sea Grant College Program, we turn to Louisana’s Marine Education Resource Center. Their SeaScope Aquatic Activities section offers the following PDF handouts for free:

• Squidology (squid_folio.pdf, 857KB)

SeaScope activity folios are written by teachers for teachers. They use the video microscope nicknamed “Scope-On-A-Rope” (SOAR) in science lessons on aquatic organisms.

An interactive virtual squid dissection demo is available from another site, Froguts.com.

In May, 2001, 5th graders at Lunalilo School dissected a squid and posted a video documentary of their experience.
