Looking Through the Eyes

Students growing up in today have little exposure to hands-on technologies that can help them to experientially understand the workings of the eye; yet, the eyes and an understanding of light (and how it moves) are essential to understanding many of today’s technologies. Therefore, I wanted to design a lab that would help them to better understand how the eye works, then demonstrate their understanding of that knowledge with a project to put that understanding into action by building a camera obscura.
