Mason provided an interactive lesson on moose anatomy that produced some squeamish moments. The students processed about 200 pounds (91 kilograms) of moose meat. They plan to cook and eat some of the meat at a dinner and donate the rest to charity.

“You can learn certainly about anatomy from diagrams and textbooks and videos. But getting your hands on an animal is a big part of the science aspect of it,” Mason said...
