A Cow's Eye View

Help me give my students the experience of dissecting cow eyes so they may learn about every part.

My Students

My students are bubbling with excitement and wonder about the middle school experience. Sixth graders know adolescence will bring so many new experiences, and they are on the cusp.

One student asks every day, with an upbeat and almost giddy tone, "What are we going to learn about today?" Students bring that energy in our science classroom making this grade level respond most positively to the vastness of the science topics.

They want to know more about everything. Sixth graders are great.

My Project

The cow eyes needed for this project are going to be dissected. My students will learn how the retina, cornea and optic nerve are attached by dissecting cow eyes. They will get to detach the eye pupil and see where the connection points of all the different parts of the eye are. They will visually see rods and cones in the cow's eyes and detach an actual eye sclera.

Using the requested scissors for dissecting, they will get to experience how actual scientists observe and learn from organ dissection.

They will learn about lab safety with dissection scissors. They will experience cutting organ of tissue. They will be having a relevant and hands-on experience in science!
