Ox Eye Dissection Activity

On 31st October, the English and Science KLAs joined forces and hosted an Ox Eye Dissection Activity during lunchtime to celebrate Halloween. This spooky yet educational activity allowed students to explore the anatomy of the eye while enhancing their teamwork and communication skills.

In the lively biology laboratory, junior and senior form students gathered around their workstations, eager to begin. With gloves on and tools ready, they listened to their instructor, who explained the structure of the eye and procedure of the dissection. Working in pairs or small groups, students collaborated actively, sharing insights and helping each other during the dissection. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as they examined the various components of the ox eye, including the cornea, lens, sclera, optic nerve, and retina.

A highlight of the activity was when students used the lens from the ox eye to look at words on a newspaper. This experiment allowed them to experience how the lens focuses light and magnifies images, reinforcing their understanding of the eye's structure and function. Students were amazed at how the lens transformed the text, making it larger and clearer, which sparked discussions about vision and perception.

In conclusion, the ox eye dissection activity was a successful integration of the English and Science KLAs. It offered students a unique opportunity to learn about biology while developing essential skills in collaboration and communication. This hands-on experience not only deepened their understanding of the eye's anatomy but also sparked a greater interest in the sciences, inspiring future academic pursuits.
