Dissection is an important part of biology because dissection makes it easier to explain some ideas of biology. When there is a dissection lab it is easier to understand the ideas when the student is working on the dissection hands on rather than just reading about the parts of an animal or plant in the book or looking at graphs or diagrams. Sometimes people learn easier by doing the lab than reading about it so its the same about dissection, when some students read about the lab in the book they may become confused but they may understand it if they are actually working on the dissection. Another thing is that dissection makes it easier for students to see the similarities and differences between two animals or plants when they are doing the dissection than when they are look at a picture in the book. The animals that should be included in biologically study are probably frogs, rats, small sea creatures and plants such as flowers. Some rare creatures should also be included but may not be a good idea to be dissected.
