Description
Fourth-grade students study animal eyes and feet to determine structure and specific function. They watch videos, study a dissected cow eye, construct replicas of a working cornea, pupil, and retina. Students read informational texts about owls to learn which parts of the owl’s body helps it hunt. Students use pictures of different types of bird feet to identify their specific function, adaptations, and lifestyle.
