We just dissected fresh shrimp as part of a science unit on invertebrates! The students loved doing this dissection and the materials were so simple and inexpensive! I bought fresh large shrimp at an Asian Market (they have huge ones) and then we needed scissors and paper plates. Check out the links to a step-by-step powerpoint on the dissection as well as a lab packet!
