Student Reporter News: Dissecting an Eye

Last week, our 7th and 8th graders had the opportunity to take a hands-on approach to science. Two of our 7th graders report on their experience:


"On Tuesday, the Our Lady of Sorrows 7th grade took a field trip to SLU to dissect a pig eye. They cut out many parts of the eye and pointed them out. After three hours of hard work, they learned so many new things about the eye, including how the pupil works and how we see. One of the 7th graders said that dissecting the eye was one of the best field trips they had ever taken. This just shows how fun dissection can be if you are just interested." -- Andrei C.


"On Tuesday, we went to SLU to dissect a pig eye. Last week, Mrs. Garbo's daughter, an eye doctor, came in and talked about the eye to prepare us for the field trip. This helped me know what the speaker at SLU was talking about. It was really cool to see everything that is in an eye. At first, I was grossed out, but then I wasn't after a while. It was really fun, and I would like to do it again." -- Grace C.
