I had completely forgotten about this until reading the thread: In my last year at primary, we were shown what was either a dead stillborn or aborted lamb in a tank of some kind of liquid.
Why, I don't know, because it certainly wasn't part of any project that we had been working on.
Some of the parents complained about it when they found out, feeling it was totally inappropriate and distressing. Personally, I think I was more bemused (I had an elder brother so had been subjected to all manner of unsavoury experience by that age), and probably didn't even mention it to my own parents.
I also recall an incident in a biology lesson when I was about 14. The teacher - a nice man but a hopeless teacher - had brought a large jar of maggots into the lesson, and halfway through the lesson they somehow started escaping in huge numbers from the top of the jar, and we looked on in horror as a tsunami of these awful wriggling creatures swept across his desk and spread across the floor!
