Students in the High School Anatomy class are exploring one of the body’s most fascinating systems — our senses. The latest focus was on vision and eye anatomy. 👁️ Juniors and seniors took their learning beyond the textbook by completing a sheep eye dissection, allowing them to examine real eye structures up close. By identifying parts such as the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve, students were able to connect classroom concepts to real biological structures. 🤔🔬 Experiences like this help students deepen their understanding of how the human body works while building observation, investigation, and scientific thinking skills. Great work, students! 👏👏👏 #LearningInThe252
