How do our eyes work? - Presentation

The intricacies of human vision are explored through an educational presentation that guides pupils to understand how our eyes function. The journey begins with watching informative videos from BBC Bitesize, which lay the foundation for the topic. Following this, students are tasked with listing ten facts about the eye's workings, ensuring they have grasped the basic concepts. The lesson delves deeper as students study the roles of various eye components, such as the retina, cornea, pupil, optic nerve, iris, and lens. Each part plays a critical role in the process of seeing, from controlling the amount of light that enters the eye to focusing images and transmitting visual information to the brain.

Building on this knowledge, pupils are then encouraged to watch another educational video, this time from Bing, to further solidify their understanding. The culmination of this learning experience is the creation of a 'Mastermind'-style quiz, where pupils, working in pairs, design questions based on what they've learned about the eye. This interactive and engaging exercise not only reinforces the pupils' knowledge but also prepares them to become 'mastermind champions' on the subject. They record their questions, ready to challenge their classmates in a test of ocular expertise. This comprehensive approach ensures that students not only learn about the eye's structure and function but also apply their knowledge in a practical, enjoyable way.
