Today we had a fun lesson about color and our vision, and why we are able to see with our eyes.
The children discussed how we feel about colors and we also learned how our eye can see with cones and rods, for color and light. We also learned about the blind spot in our field of vision and how we cannot see color in our perifory.
In discussing how we see, and how light reflects a reverse image onto our retina, we made a model to view the world. Using a camera from 1930, we were able to make a real-time pinhole camera to see the world upside down.
For our farming lesson, we tended to our okra seeds. Later in the class, we took a stroll around the neighborhood to see what is growing nearby and what colors we can find. The students were able to name many of the plants and how we use them, and we learned a few new plants as well!
I look forward to seeing you next week!!!
