Digital Frog 2 is an interactive CD-ROM that uses animation, full-screen videos, narration, text, and high-resolution images to create a realistic dissection experience for the student. Students can perform an entire frog dissection with a “digital scalpel,” view body processes and functions in motion, learn about the frog’s habitat, life cycle, behavior, and ecology, and complete interactive quizzes.
Humane learning methods have many educational benefits over traditional dissection. Unlike in a real dissection, aspects of virtual dissection can be repeated and reviewed on subsequent days, and mistakes can be easily corrected. Many programs, like Digital Frog, include anatomy modules which complement the dissection exercises on the software.
Programs like Digital Frog also save schools money, help the environment , and teach students to value and respect life. With a free copy of Digital Frog 2 or another humane learning method in hand, students have a powerful tool in discussing humane alternatives with their teachers.
Using non-animal learning methods has never been easier or more cost-effective. Find out more about non-animal software, free loan programs, and online resources.

methods teach as well or better than animal dissection. One study at George Mason University looked at The Digital Frog in particular, and found that the program was more effective than dissection, with students learning more in 44 percent less time.
