FAQ

  • What age group is the Ultimate Worm Dissection suitable for?

    The course content is tailored to be engaging and educational for a wide range of ages, with activities and explanations appropriate for each level. The Ultimate Worm Dissection is designed for homeschool students in grades 2-12. For younger students, please have a older sibling or parent closely supervise and assist when necessary.

    Absolutely! Our step-by-step instructions and video guidance make the process easy to follow, even for first-time homeschoolers or those new to dissections.

  • How can I support my child during the dissection?

    Parental "supervision" is advised for these labs as sharp dissection tools are used. Parents can "assist" by ensuring safety guidelines are followed and offering support "if needed", but the course is designed for students 2nd grade and above to dissect independently.

    The course is self-paced, allowing students to complete it at their own convenience. Most students will need approximately 1 hour to go through the videos, complete the dissection, and finish the accompanying worksheets and quizzes.

    Yes, the course includes access to a community forum where students and parents can ask questions, share their findings, and connect with other learners. Additionally, I am available to answer any specific questions through the platform.

  • Can multiple children in the same household use the same course enrollment?

    Yes, multiple children in the same household can share the same course enrollment. Each child can work through the material at their own pace and complete the activities individually. If you want them to have their own lab kit, you will need to purchase additional kits.

  • Is the preserved worm specimen safe and easy to handle?

    Yes, the preserved worm specimens used in the course are safe for educational purposes and easy to handle with the use of dissection gloves. Proper dissection techniques and safety guidelines are covered in the course to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
