With the expansion of the curricu- lum, the program hopes to expand its target base. By sending 100 squid a year, Gilly speculates they could reach 4,000 students. “It’s a universal ‘gee whiz, ‘wow’ experience,”Gilly said,for the people of wide-ranging ages and back- grounds who are involved. The program sends the squid with a dissection guide of the external and internal anatomy geared toward jun- ior-high and older students. The les- son plan is designed for after-school programs or for incorporation into teachers’ existing lesson plans.
