Mrs. Wilson’s 4th grade class has been studying how different parts of the human body work. This week, students are learning all about the eyes!
Today, they created a model of the eye to test how it works. Students were amazed to discover that images actually appear upside down on the retina before the brain processes them.
What a fun way to bring science to life!
