We continued our study through the science resource.Today we studied how the light from the sun helps us see.I purchased this book for $.50 at a curriculum years ago when we studied eyes in the WB.I was able to use it for our study today. We also watched the eye section of Windows of the Soul by Moody Science Classics.I then had them copy the illustration of the eye and label it from the WB. We then did a project from Konos testing how the cones & rods of the eye work.
This was a fun test to do.
(from Konos)Have your child look straight ahead while sitting in a chair.From behind him, hold a red ball at arm's length, straight out beside him.When he can 1rst see the ball, ask him what color the ball is.Keep moving the ball in an arc in front of the child until he can identify the color.Have him explain or write why color is not detected as it enters the eye at severe angels.Answer=The image of the ball held to the side does not fall on the retina made up of the color-seeing cones.It hits the rods instead, so the color is not distinguishable.
