River Bend Career and Technical Center students from the Level 2 Health Science Program and the Level 2 EMS Program recently participated in an incredible hands-on learning experience. Guest speaker David Pratt brought in 28 dogfish shark specimens for students to dissect. During their dissection, students were able to explore the anatomy of the sharks and, in turn, compare to human anatomy. In this photo, Health Science students Sonya McFarland (left, Oxbow High School) and Mazie Bourgeois (right, Oxbow High School) work with guest speaker David Pratt as they identify body systems in their specimen.
