It’s Mavi’s midterm break and we decided to look into the parts of the human eye! We examined our model unit this morning which we bought last year from the local store. It’s so perfect and goes along so well with our Human Eye Nomenclature Cards and Booklet.
To start with, we disassemble our eye model and identify the parts using our nomenclature cards. Mavi was surprised that his eye is actually shaped like a sphere and yes, a ball! All the while he thought it was flat. So as we identify the parts using the model, he can’t stop himself from examining my eye as well LOL.
When the parts were completely taken apart, we read our booklet to know the purpose of each part. Don’t you just love our eye model? Even the inside of the eyeball has drawings of blood vessels on it. So detailed!
I’m so used of making these booklets that I was able assemble it in just a few minutes. I laminated the pages as well for longevity.
Our little man was also as excited and thrilled to examine the human eye. He was observing his brother and was attentively listening to Mavi’s soliloquy LOL.
And finally! He got the chance to borrow the eyeball and started to emulate his brother.

Studying eyes can be so much fun! I love the eye model. That was one thing I regret not purchasing when we did our unit last year.
