School sessions
Get up close and personal with the herring—both on the outside and on the inside
The students get to hold the herring themselves and examine its external features before we open it up and take a closer look at its internal organs. Throughout the process, our museum educator guides the class through the dissection and explains how the herring’s body is structured and what the various organs are used for.
We also discuss how herring move, find food, and avoid being eaten themselves. A hands-on, sensory-rich lesson in which students learn about the fish’s anatomy using their eyes, hands, and nose.
