Now, be blindfolded again. Let someone place the item somewhere else but within the same distance as before. Take off your blindfold. Search for the item. Record the time you found the item.
| Distance of item from you (metres) | Time you found the item (seconds) | |
| When blindfolded | ||
| When not blindfolded |
b. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/syaQgmxb5i0. Now answer the following questions:
What is the sense of sight used for?
How important is it?
c. How big is the human eye?
2. Anatomy of the eye. Label the parts.
Eye Function Drag
Click on the link provided above and do the exercise on the functions of the parts of the eye. When complete check your answer. The system will then mark your work. Print and paste your work.
3. How does a lens work? Complete the sentence below using the words from the box.
We have a lens in each of our _______________. This is a ______________ lens. The job of this lens is to ______________ the ________________ so we can_____________________. The point at which the rays cross is called the focus or the ____________________. The light is ________________________as it goes into the and as it comes back out.
| eyes | refracted | light | focal point | |||
| focus | see | convex |
4. Watch video:
a. Below are the steps in how humans see. Arrange them in a chronological order by putting numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) in the “position” column to reflect the right order in which they should be.
| Position | Steps |
| When you look at an object, light reflected from the object goes through the pupil of your eye. | |
| Your brain sorts the image out so you see it the right way round. | |
| The cornea and the lens focus the light onto the retina. | |
| An inverted image is formed on the retina. The retina is made of light sensitive cells called photoreceptors. | |
| The iris, a muscle that controls the size of the pupil, allows the correct amount of light to enter your eye. | |
| When the image forms on the photoreceptors in the retina, chemical reactions produce and electrical impulse that travels up the optic nerve to your brain. |
b. Fill in the blank: A medical doctor who specialises in examining, diagnosing, and treating eyes and eye diseases is called a/an ____________________.
c. Visual acuity test, visual field test and tonometry test are tests that an ophthalmologist performs on the eye. Match the name of the term to its meaning:
| Visual acuity test | ????? | A person reads an eye chart to measure how well he or she sees at various distances. |
| Visual field test | ????? | This test determines the fluid pressure inside the eye to evaluate for glaucoma. |
| Tonometry test | ????? | Ophthalmologists use this test to measure side, or peripheral, vision. |
d. What are the roles of:
i. Rods
ii. Cones
5. How does the eyesight of humans compare with other creatures? Compare with any three of the following animals: eagles, owls, mantis shrimp, deer, goat, horse, elk, sheep, goat.
6.
a. Compare the key features of the eye and a camera by finishing the table.
| Feature in a camera | Feature in an eye | Use |
| Pupil | ||
| Lens | ||
| Shutter | ||
| Retina | Receives light |
b. Write a paragraph below to compare how the eye and the camera work. Cover the following factors in your answer:
i. Similarities: What features do they have in common? What does each convert the light energy into when it is processed? Which way up does the image form in both?
ii. Differences: How does the lens change in each to produce an image? How do the types of image made by each compare? How are the images captured and kept?
7. With reference to the eye chart explain:
a. 20/20 vision
b. 20/70 vision
8. What is visual impairment?
9. Define these eye problems and state their "cures".
a. Glaucoma
b. Cataracts
c. Strabismus
d. "Sore eyes"/conjunctivitis
e. Colour blindness
10. Fill in the blanks: (Watch the video - https://youtu.be/ypF037wlYZg)
a. ________________ is the bending of light when it passes through a transparent medium such as glass, lens or water.
b. The refractive errors are _______________, ___________________, ____________ and _______________.
c. _________________is also known as near-sightedness. People with this have eyes that are a little longer than normal, measuring from the front of the eyeball to the back. Therefore, light focuses in front of the retina instead of on it.
d. ___________________ is also known as farsightedness. People with this have trouble focusing on things close up because their eyes are too "short" from front to back. Therefore, light focuses behind the retina instead of on it, causing blurry vision.
e. _____________________ is a condition in which your eye isn’t completely round. Therefore, light gets bent more in one direction than another. That means only part of an object is in focus so things at a distance may look blurry and wavy.
f. _________________ is the normal loss of near focusing ability that occurs with age. Most people begin to notice the effects of presbyopia sometime after age 40, when they start having trouble seeing small print clearly.
g. Read Genesis 48:10. Which of the refractive errors did Israel have?
Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. Then Joseph brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them.
