The 7th and 8th grade science classes are learning about the eye. On Monday, Dr. Amy Garbo visited OLS and presented a hands-on lesson to our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. She taught the students about the anatomy of the eye, common diseases of the eye, and how to care for one's eyes.
Dr. Garbo began her lesson by assigning each student a partner. One member of each pair was blindfolded and the other was instructed to lead. The students then exchanged roles so each could experience what it would be like to perform basic tasks without the sense of sight.
Though Dr. Garbo's visit is over, the lesson on eyes continues! The junior high students will travel to Saint Louis University next week to dissect a pig eye.
