Take a journey through the eye and see how it works!

+ Join in lots of weird and wonderful investigations to understand how our eyes work!

+ Make a model of an eye

+ Watch a short (5 mins) dissection of an eye! (& join in at home if you want)

+ The older groups will also learn about the structure and function of the eye extending to KS4 level.

(Please note this contains a short dissection of a pig's eye).


Your home-education journal is already written!

In your booking confirmation email you'll receive a summary of the keywords, key concepts and student activities planned for this session. You can simply copy, paste and adapt it for your home-education journal and use it to help you discuss the learning with your child afterwards.


Tuesday 25th April

8-12s group: 1 - 1:50pm (UK GMT)

11-16s group: 2:10 - 3pm (UK GMT)

(Select from the options below).



Equipment (To join an entirely optional practical)


It is a good idea to have a whiteboard or paper, pen, ruler and calculator to hand in each session.


  • A torch (not too bright) 
  • A mirror
  • White paper
  • Black pen
  • Ruler
  • An eye patch! Or something they can use to gently cover one eye for a few minutes (scarf, tie, bandana...)
  • A white bowl (to draw on, one you can clean easily or don’t mind being marked) Or just use paper.
  • Felt tip pens / marker pens / dry wipe pens
  • A magnifying glass, or lens from old glasses: may help to add to their model but is not essential


To join the dissection at home:


  • An eyeball (easily obtained from a fish head, or you may be able to get a pig’s or lamb's eye from a butcher)
  • plate or tray
  • Dissecting scissors or small sharp scissors
  • Forceps or tweezers


Links suggest sources of appropriate resources



What might younger students need help with?

Younger students may need help covering one eye with a patch or scarf, and may need preparing for seeing a real eye dissection (or looking away if preferred).
