Sharks can prove to be a powerful teaching tool in any science classroom. Whether you’re teaching about adaptations, senses, food chains, conservation, or anatomy, you can use your students’ interest in this often misunderstood predator to foster excitement in a variety of science topics. We’ll look at different ways to use sharks as a teaching tool, including a shark dissection.
