Planarian cutting directions
CUTTING DIRECTIONS. Planarian can be cut by placing a few drops of water on the inside lid of the petri dish. QUICKLY use the eyedropper to transfer the planarian to the lid (if you're not fast, the planarian or portions of it will stick to the inside of the eyedropper and be very difficult to remove). Allow the worm to extend fully on the petri dish and then, cut with a sharp blade. Make certain all petri dishes have plenty of spring water - planarian will die without it!

This diagram and bit of information helps us learn to cut the planarian correctly.
