Freeport Middle School's 8th grade SSTRIDE Students dissect cow eyes in Mr. Appel's class.
One way to figure out how something works is to look inside it. The cow eye is very similar to the eye of a human. By dissecting and examining the anatomy of a preserved cow eye, the students learn more about how their own eye works.
