Year 9 students along with Mrs Johnson had the opportunity to indulge in an exciting science experiment where they all witnessed and participated in dissecting a cow’s eye. One student shared their perspective:
Prior to the experiment, we learned about the structure of the eye and how the dissection should be performed, then the eye was placed right in front of us. Some students were intrigued by the huge cow’s eye, some… not so much. With a mind full of curiosity, we began the experiment by first cutting the fat and muscle, then making an incision in the cornea. It was interesting to see how my classmates reacted to being exposed to the eye, most cringed at the sight and smell whilst others couldn’t contain their enthusiasm. Overall, performing the experiment with my classmates was an engaging and educational experience that we got to partake in together, making it all the better. - Faith T (Year 9)
