Allegedly, I have heard that "the frog" can be alive after the frog dissection experiement in the high school. However, I am not sure this is true or not, because I can't find the real case over the Web. If there's some real case, please aloow me to know. Thanks.

the frogs you dissect in high school are stuck in a bag full of embalming fluid. they're dead.

That is not possible since normally, during dissection, the frog's heart is removed. I know of computer programs. Also, they put the frogs in phermaldehyde which is an agent that preserves the body, so the frog is no longer alive way before they get to the classroom. They also pack the bodies in with dry ice to store and keep them cold until they reach the classroom or school which is another thing that the frogs could not live through.

in some schools you must kill the frog first, or if you are studying the internal organs, you "pith" the frog. This is inserting a probe into the base of the frog's brain and scrambling them so to speak. The frog is still alive and his organs are still working but he is not able to feel pain.

I disected a pithed frog that was still alive for over two hours after it was braindead. The frog had muscle contractions and its heart continued to beat.

The frogs can't be alive. They are preserved in a liquid called formaldehyde, it keeps them decomposing.

No, the frogs they get are long, long gone. They're so far gone that they're incredibly hard to cut open. Either that, or we just had crappy blades.

no, the frogs are shipped in pre-preserved and dead.
