Dissection Labs: 
Here are some examples of labs that we have used in the Dissection Course
at Stanford and/or in working with students in K-12. The student groups
listed are the ones that we have had experience with on a particular lab.
Our overall experience has taught us that most artifact labs can be adapted
to other age groups.
