8th Grade Life Science

Week 35

 Date Objective/ Procedure Handouts/ Labs Homework
5/14

 Sense Organ: The Eye

1. Examine the external structures of the human eye and then draw and describe the features

2. Class Reading & Discussion: Human Brain and Senses: The Mammalian Eye p. 29-30 to understand the structures and functions of the eye

3. Science Journal- Determine and discuss how pupils respond to differing light levels from a demonstration

NJCCCS 5.1  & 5.5

 

5/15

Virtual Cow Eye Dissection-1

1. Prepare for the cow eye dissection with this virtual cow eye dissection cow eye dissection website,  Foss Brain & Senses & Virtual Cow Eye Dissection

2. Define and label the parts of the eye: sclera, cornea, aqueous humor, pupil, lens, vitreous humor, retina, tapetum, iris, optic nerve, blind spot

3.  Science Journal- explain what the tapetum is and why humans don't  have this structure

Finish Virtual Cow Eye Dissection diagram and definitions:  Eye Dissection/Eye Diagram
5/17

Cow Eye Dissection

1.Dissect a cow eye to find out about the internal structures of the mammalian eye

2. Explain how the human and cow eye are similar and different

3. Describe the relationship between structure and function of the mammalian eye

NJCCCS 5.1  & 5.5

    
5/18 Lobes of the Brain

1. View Parts of the Brain Video  to review the 3 main parts of the brain (cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stems) & the 4 lobes of the cerebrum (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital) and write a journal entry about how you used each lobe of the brain today

2. Take notes on structure and function of the 4 lobes of the brain and the Limbic System & go over

3.Label and color the parts of the brain to identify the Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, and Occipital lobes

NJCCCS 5.1  & 5.5

46. Lobes of the Brain/ Neuron
