Today, I’ll walk you through the steps for a clam dissection<\/strong>. We all know clams from clam digging or as a tasty addition to miso soup, but they are also incredibly useful creatures for learning science.

I’ve put together a video of the dissection process, so please use it as a reference!<\/p>\n
