Eye Dissection

This week in science we have been learning about the different parts of the eye. For an experiment we got to dissect a cows eye.

Aim: TO find out all of the different parts of the eye.

Method: What we did is we got All of the equipment we needed and we had to start by cutting off all of the fat around the outside of the eye.  What we did after that is we cut a small hole in the cornea (small layer over the pupil to protect it) And squeezed out all of this clear liquid.  We found The Retina, and we detached the lens and had a look at that.

The lens focuses the light.
The pupil lets the light in
The iris limits the amount of light that gets let in.


I learnt that when you dissect a cows eye, it looks disgusting and i don't like it at all. but i also learnt different parts of the eye.

Have you don't this before?
