How the Body Works—Eyes

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This How the Body Works—Eyes instructional video also includes:
  • Your Eyes
  • Quiz: Eyes
  • The Eye
  • Eye: Word Find
  • Join to access all included materials

You might find this video a little silly-ary (ciliary, as in, ciliary muscle). Giant, hat-wearing eyeballs with legs walk around as Chloe and the Nurb discuss different features of this light-collecting organ. Get your class focusing on the eye with their eyes on this video, then assign them the accompanying reading and worksheets as reinforcement.
