Examining our eyes.

Lesson: Science

Class: Y1 Year: 2018 - 2019

Today children in year 1 begun to identify, name, draw and label the basic parts of the human body and learn about the sense associated with each part of the body. Today we explored our eyes and the sense of sight. Children learned about the iris, pupil, eye lid and eye lashes.  We tested how our pupil gets bigger in the dark and smaller in the light, how an adult eye is the size of a ping pong ball and we examined each other’s iris colour and drew and labelled very accurate pictures of our own eyes using mirrors. Some children also wanted to tell the class about the time they went to see an optician and talk about the tools used  to examine their eyes.  Super science Y1!
