In this learning experience, the children were challenged to use their sense of sight to closely observe an object in order to distinguish it from similar objects. We discovered how carefully we must look and how accurately we must describe the object to distinguish it from the others. Since we are also learning about apples we chose an apple as our object. Partners looked closely at an apple and then had to find it again in a group of apples. The strategies students used to find their apples were amazing! The non-fiction book Seeing written by Sharon Gordon helped us understand how our eyes make it possible for us to see. We learned about the job of the pupil and iris and experimented with light to discover how our eye changes depending on the amount of light it is exposed to.
