Giant Model Eye

2 kits available

KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4

Originally part of a display for a Science and Survival Event, the eye is about 0.5m tall. It has a viewing screen in the side and a clear cornea at the front. Children can see a fuzzy, inverted, image on the retina through the viewing screen. A small camera below the eye sends an image, similar but not quite the same as that on the retina, to a video screen placed in a model head. This image is not inverted. The eye and head can be linked by using a 'rope light' optic nerve.

Our kits are always evolving and improving in direct response to teacher feedback – from the people who use them and who we aim to support. Feedback forms are included in every kit and we encourage you to complete one for every kit you borrow.
