Novare General Biology Dissection Kit

Our custom designed Novare General Biology Dissection Kit helps students reinforce scientific concepts in Novare General Biology curriculum with hands-on learning. With this kit, get the specimens and dissecting tools needed to complete all the dissections in The Apprentice's Companion for General Biology.

Home Science Tools worked closely together with Novare Science authors to provide a valuable learning experience for your inspired student!

Use Novare General Biology Program and our custom designed dissection kit to: 

• Combine up-to-date science with a Christian worldview and the educational philosophy.
• Give students the skills to retain the educational content for years to come.
• Make connections between anatomy and physiology of diverse organisms.
• Compare the anatomy of different specimens.
• Improve dissection skills.

With this kit, the student will engage in these hands-on activities:

• Mammal heart dissection
• Mammal kidney dissection
• Perch dissection
• and so many more!

Note: Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced first with water and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which will not decay over time.

HST Specimen Guarantee

In sealed, original packaging, our preserved specimens are guaranteed to remain fully preserved and free of decay for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Once the original package is opened, use specimen within one month. For best results, observe the following storage procedures:

• Store specimen in heavy-duty, zip-lock bags to minimize drying between dissections.

• Freezing or refrigeration is not necessary and may damage fragile tissues.
