Shark skull active learning kit
In the past year, we’ve interviewed over 50 anatomy educators to hear about their greatest challenges and needs. From those interviews, we’re developing our first anatomy educational resource: a shark skull active learning kit!

The kit will include at least nine, 20-minute active learning modules that students can complete individually or in groups of up to four. These kits are intended for use in college-level courses such as comparative vertebrate anatomy, ichthyology, and biomechanics. However, they could also be suitable for advanced high school classes or as advanced educational toys.
Some features of the kit are:
- A magnetic, 3D puzzle of a dogfish shark skull that students can manipulate to simulate jaw motions such as opening, closing and protrusion
- At least nine active learning modules that cover multiple systems, multiple core concepts, and inquiry-based learning
- A neuroanatomy module where students build a shark brain with cranial nerves (pipe cleaners)
- Muscle modules where students add rubber bands to the model to simulate muscle actions
- A digital activity guide to lead students through each module
- The option to purchase replacement parts and replenishment kits, if components get lost or broken
We’re still developing and testing these kits and hope to launch a “preorder campaign” in fall 2022. If you’re interested in ordering one or more of these kits, please fill out the form below and we’ll keep you updated on our progress!
