Description
How the Eye Works, Eye Anatomy
Students will make a model that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye causes objects to be seen. They will understand that once that information is taken in, the brain needs to process it. This resource addresses the NGSS standards for 4th grade 4-PS4-2, 4-LS1-1, and 4-LS1-2. This resource also addresses NGSS Waves and Their Applications and From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes.
This resource includes:
- nonfiction articles
- response pages
- hands-on inquiry-based lessons
- Interactive Notebook Flaps
Teachers Love This Unit!
Margaret ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied I love the detail that my students had to pay attention to throughout this resource. They learned many concepts about the eye. Love this resource.
The close reading activities are aligned with CCSS for 4th-grade Reading Informational Text.

survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
✅ NGSS 4-LS1-2. Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the
information in their brain and respond to the information in different ways.
