We caught up with Year 9 pupils, Vicky Trizcinska and Flora Huo, to learn more.
Q. What made you choose dissection club and how long have you been doing it?
Vicky – I chose this activity because I have been thinking about becoming a doctor and I thought it would be a good activity to expand my knowledge and have fun. I have been doing it since the start of year 9.
Flora – I chose this activity because I’m interested in medicine and I have been doing it since November.
Q. What do you do each week?
Vicky – Each week we learn new things. We usually dissect animals or organs from animals and we are guided through it, teaching me the structures. We usually complete a mini quiz at the start of each session.
Q. What do you enjoy most about it?
Vicky – I loved dissecting a heart as it was an interesting experience. I enjoy how we can look at different parts in the animal or organ by ourselves.
Flora – My favourite part of the Club is getting to know different parts of animals and physically seeing and touching them.
Q. Why should someone choose to do Dissection Club?
Vicky – I think if you want to learn more about structures of animals and are interested in dissecting organs, then you should do it as it’s a brilliant experience with plenty of Sixth Form students to help you. I would recommend it strongly to someone who would like to become a doctor.
