Grandma, what big eyes you have! Better to see you with, my dear!

Students have been studying the parts and function of the human eye and how light works in our science unit this trimester. We dissected cow eyeballs for our culminating activity.  Why cow eyeballs you ask? Well, they closely resemble the human eye except for their size and the tapetum which is iridescent in color (makes eyes glow green at night) and in humans it is black.   Students were very careful with their scalpels and scissors.  Learning to properly use a scalpel is a skill in itself.  I was very proud of them.  Everyone participated even though a few were hesitant.
