Dissecting a squid

Squid Dissection


Equipment
Today i am going to show you what equipment you need to dissect a squid. So first you need safety goggles because ink could possibly squirt right into you little eyes.You would need any tray you would like to get smelly and put the squid in. You would definitely need scissors to cut the squid and see what parts it has. Paper to put on the table so it does not spread and to put in the tray you are using. You would also need laboratory tongs to hold the squid down and the most important equipment you would definitely need is a squid.



Steps
First you would need to watch the first part of the youtube video that they will take out [beak].Then you would need all your equipment you need to pull out what you are meant to pull out first we pulled out the beak it felt hard and sort of like plastic. Next after that you will have to watch the next part they took out of the squid and then when it stopped we went to go do that. W had to pull out the brain and it was gooey slimy and yuck.After that we went to go watch the video and this was the part we used the scissors so we went back to the table and we cut the top up but you start from the bottom and go up to the last bit. Last we would have to do is watch that last bit of the video and after the we go and do it. Finally we have to take the pen out of the squid and dip it in ink so you could write with it on the peace of paper and then that's how we dissect a squid.






Brain Removal
To remove a brain first you would have to use your hand and under the tentacles in the middle you would see a hole that is where the squids beek and the squids brain is.So all you need to do is squeeze your two thumbs on each side and squeeze it like it is a pimple and just squeeze as hard as you can and you could see white stuff coming out and that is the brain and that’s how you remove a brain and under the brain it had a nerve.
