Dissecting a Cow Eye

by  Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum

Program image

Get your goggles on! Dissect a cow eye to understand how each structure works to provide the sense of sight, just like a human eye. After the program, work with your class on a series of optical illusions to see how your eyes and brain work together to bring you visual messages.

Please note: Museum provides cow eyes, gloves, and safety glasses (yours to keep); school must provide its own dissection tools.
