The Eye; Structure and Function
Young scholars research the structure and function of the eye. In this anatomy lesson, students write a report about the eye and draw an illustration. They research a particular animal's eye then present their findings to the class...
Cornell University
Thinking with the Eyes
Objects are larger (or smaller) than they appear! Scholars use a laboratory investigation to explore the difference between resolution and magnification. The activity allows them to calculate the size of the field of view of their light...
Curated OER
In the Eyes of the Beholder
Students identify parts of the eye and their functions through participating in a cow's eye dissection lab. They investigate vision problems and diseases, focusing on their causes, and how abnormal vision can be aided with technology.

Practice Worksheets: Parts of the Eye
In this biology worksheet, students label the different parts of the eye in the diagram. They answer 3 questions by matching the eye parts and their functions.
Magic of Physics
Eyes and Sight
A short interactive allows scholars to view a model of the anatomy of an eye that provides a description of how each part works and models how the parts function together. A short quiz on both the anatomy and the functions allows pupils...

Diseases of the Eye
Fifth graders research diseases of the eye. In this science lesson, 5th graders discuss and research eye diseases and complete a worksheet using the information they find.
Rochester Institute of Technology
Artificial Eye
Scientists in California developed a bionic eye that allows blind people to see edges of objects in black and white and costs $145,000. In the activity, groups of scholars discuss bioengineering, focusing on the human eye. They then...

Making Cents of the Senses
Students explore sight and hearing. For this senses lesson, students read Brown Bear Brown Bear, discuss how eyes are used for sight, and chart the eye color of the students in the class. Students discuss how hearing is important, take a...
Exploratorium
Seeing Your Blind Spot
Viewers use a small, dimmed flashlight to identify the blind spot for both the right and left eye. It is a simple activity to incorporate into your activities during a lesson on vision and the structure and function of the eyeball.

Sensory and Motor Mechanisms
Advanced biology pupils name the function of each individual structure on figures of the eye and the ear. They describe the purpose of the skeleton and how it works with the muscles to create movement. Finally, they label a large diagram...
National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network
The Pinch Test
Test your pupils' understanding of the scale from macro to atomic. While displaying images of different materials, learners identify what they would need to make that material visible. Their choices range from the human eye to an...
Curated OER
For Your Eyes Only
Students complete several activities in a unit related to the eye. For this eye lesson, students work in groups to research information about the human eye and create a multimedia presentation. They research anatomy of the eye, how the...
Curated OER
Would You Believe Your Eyes?
Young scholars study the parts and functions of the human eye. They create dodecagons which are twelve-sided figures with twelve equal angles and share these with the class so that each student can begin to see how many different...
Curated OER
Lesson Plan Two: Sense of Sight and The Eye
Students label and describe functions of main parts of the eye, and explore the eye by using the eye model.
Curated OER
How Are the Eyes of Different Organisms Adapted for Sight?
Students compare/contrast the human eye to two other organisms. They use micro viewers to identify the human eye structures, complete a Venn diagram worksheet, identify the function of each eye structure, and answer discussion questions.
