Frog Guts......Ewww!
Submitted by Beth Baker, Livingston Junior High School
Livingston Junior High School - Students in Mrs. Beth Baker's 7th Grade Science classes have just completed their Dissection Unit. The students got to dissect earthworms and frogs. This activity followed our unit on the human body. They not only got to see what these organisms look like on the inside, but they also learned how they have the same basic parts as US! Surprisingly, all students were excited about these assignments and they ALL participated willingly! Also, many of them say they now want to be a surgeon!!

| 1 |
box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix |
|
Water, vegetable oil and egg whites called for on cake mix box |
| 1 |
box (4-serving size) orange-flavored gelatin |
Frosting
| 3 |
cups powdered sugar |
| 1/3 |
cup butter or margarine, softened |
| 1 |
teaspoon vanilla |
| 2 |
to 3 tablespoons milk |
|
Yellow, red and blue food colors |
| 1/3 |
cup white baking chips |
Instructions
| 1. |
Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. |
| 2. |
Make cake batter as directed on cake mix box, adding gelatin with the water. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about 2/3 full). |
| 3. |
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. |
| 4. |
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat powdered sugar and butter with spoon or with electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Beat in vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the milk. Gradually beat in just enough of the remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. Divide frosting among 4 small bowls. Stir 6 drops yellow food color into frosting in one bowl. Stir 4 drops red food color into frosting in second bowl. Stir 6 to 8 drops blue food color into frosting in third bowl. Stir 4 drops yellow and 2 drops red food color into frosting in fourth bowl. |
