Lesson Plan Activities

My activity for this lesson will consist of the students exploring about the eye using search engines such as Google along with online virtual museums. Students will be asked to use a search engine to find one interesting fact about the eye that they did not previously know. These interesting facts will be shared with the class before the exploration activity begins. Then, students will be split into three groups. Each group will be assigned a website that leads the students to an online virtual museum. The students will spend the majority of the class using their computers to learn about the function of the eye and also find some interesting facts about heredity and how eye color is determined. Students will explore the following websites:

(I'm having some trouble finding other websites so if anyone has any suggestions I would appriciate it!)
