educators. Gills have the choice of observing or taking part in the dissection process and using their hands and special tools to examine the external and internal anatomy of the shark. Gills should wear clothes that are okay to get messy (short sleeves are
usually best), and have their hair tied back under a hat or in an elastic / headband.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
