In our science unit this trimester, students have been learning the structures and functions of the human eye and how light works. We dissected cow eyeballs for our culminating activity.
Why cow eyeballs you ask? Well, they closely resemble the human eye, except for their large size and the tapetum; which is iridescent in color and makes animal eyes glow green at night. Students were very careful with their scalpels and scissors. Learning to properly use a scalpel is a skill in itself. I think we may have a few future surgeons on our hands. They did an amazing job and wanted to know what they could dissect next! Also, we want to give a big thank you to Dr. Heet and Mr. Powers for assisting today!
