Into the Classroom Y6 – Cow eye dissection

In order to react, communicate, and keep the body healthy and safe, the nervous system must receive and process information about the world outside. The five senses are responsable for translating the outside world into a language that the brain can understand for processing and reacting.

This information comes through the sensory organs: the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. The eye is one of the most complex and its in charge of translating the light into image signals.

We went Into the Classroom of Year 6 students and watched how they performed a dissection of a cow eye were they manage to explore the different parts of it, observing first hand the common eye features humans share with cows and relating the experiment the study of interactions between the nervous system and the eye.
