Do they dissect the animal while it is still alive and awake....
Or do scientists put the animal to sleep first?

Vivisection is the use of living animals for research uses. Animal research is highly regulated in many countries. In the United States, strict rules and regulations mandate what is and is not allowed to be preformed. Please see the following links to find out more information.

What Is Vivisection

vivisection is live exploratory surgery / dissection. whether the subject is anesthetized or 'awake' is probably determined by the purpose of the operation. in some biology classes students may be required to 'pith' and vivisect a live frog. this involves inserting a probe [aka needle] into the brain of said frog and damaging it only enough to inhibit conscious functions without terminating heartbeat, respiration and autonomic nervous responses - in theory affording a 'painless' vivisection; in reality a living death. horrid stuff.
