Ouch! You poked my eye!

The beautiful blue color is the retina.  You can see the clearish dirty cornea to it's' left.
The pinkish piece is the lens.  The jelly-like substance is the vitreous body from the center of the eye.  It helps the eye to keep it's shape.  The finger is touching the cornea.

Two sweet nursing students came from Iowa Central to help the kids dissect the eye.

The cow's eye dissection was the perfect ending to studying the eye.  Real life experience.  Students were so brave, all looking and touching. Little scientists!

And of course, Nurse Twyla.  Thanks for the gummy eyeballs Twyla.  What a weird treat following this activity!! :)
