Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Let the teacher know how you feel. Usually when you dissect, you work in partners. I've done about 4 of them so far. It's not really bad. It's actually rather interesting to get to look at everything. Breathe through your mouth if you have to. The chemicals they put into the frog to preserve it, isn't a great smell.
Carry saltine crackers with you and if you don't feel well.. Ask the teacher if you could get some air and eat a couple of the crackers.

well you could try to talk to your teacher and tell them that you really think you might throw up if you have to dissect something. and if that doesnt work.....
its really not as bad as you think. i've had to dissect a frog, worm, & pig. it just smells really bad. try not to think of it as something dead just think of it as a toy that is showing you where the different parts are. thats all i can really tell you. just warning you about the smell though. maybe bring some strong smelling lotion and put it on right before you dissect so it will be better smelling. also eat a little something right before you dissect.. dont eat a lot. just in case you do throw up. but im sure you'll be fine. hopefully you'll have a partner and they will want to do most of the dirty work. =)

okay well i have done dissections myself (frog, pig) and i know how you can help yourself from not being squimmish.
First when you get the animal look at it and take deep breathes. Think about if you will be able to touch it or not. If not, then try not to.
Tell your teacher you have a weak stomach just as a head note.
During dissection talk to your partner on how you feel and help him/her out in other ways so s/he does not feel like they are doing all of the work.
And don't be afraid to leave the classroom when you feel squimmish. Breathe through your mouth.
Lastly, stop thinking about it. The more you will the more nervous you will be. Relax. It won't be that bad. :)
It will be okay.

i hurd eating crackers helps keep you from throwing up so maybe you should eat some crackers before or keep them close by!wanting to vomit during these things is all in your head!when you constantly tell yourself o my gosh im about to vomit you accually make yourself vomit!so when doing this try not to think about your stomach or how sick you might feel!!try your hardest to stay focused to the disection and not on your stomach!!well i hope this helped!!good luck!!

breath threw your mouth!... let someone else do the cutting up since you will probably be with a partner... watch more what the teahcer is sayign than the actual disection. if you feel your going to puke make sure you have some cold water to drink near by. doing all of that should help alot.
