Description

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they simplify structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Using the colorful model, your students will get an engaging overview of the human eye.

Using the ready-to-use materials provided with each 3-D model set, students first assemble a model to represent a structure or an entire system as an aid to develop questions and explanations. They will then generate data and observations that can be used to make predictions and communicate ideas to others.

Either working alone or in small groups, students will construct a model of the eye using the colorful parts provided. They’ll then use their model to look at the structure of the eye and how it is used to see. The model covers the main parts of the eye to include the outer layer (sclera), the middle layer (choroid), and the inner layer (retina), the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, fovea, optic nerve, ciliary body, the suspensory ligaments, and the blind spot (optic disc).

The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models, working cooperatively, along with a comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide.

Also includes a comprehensive, illustrated Teacher Resource Guide for effective preparation and integration of the models’ use in instruction.
