8. PART 2
EYECARE DISCOVERY
ACTIVITY GUIDE
Look into your Eyes
GLOSSARY:
IRIS: this is the colored part of your eye. All irises have the same dark pigment, but
darker colored eyes have more of it than lighter-colored eyes.
PUPIL: a hole in the center of your iris where the light can get into your eye.
CORNEA: a tough, clear covering over the iris and the pupil that helps protect the
eye.
RETINA: detects images focused by the cornea and the lens.
LENS: a clear, flexible structure that makes an image on the eye’s retina.
OPTIC NERVE: the bundle of nerve fibers that carries information from the retina to
the brain.

EXERCISE YOUR EYES
 Eye Writing
Look at a wall and pretend that you’re writing on it with
your eyes. Don’t move your head—only move your eyes.
Start by writing your name, then try composing poetry
or writing out the lyrics to your favorite song. The bigger
the letters, the more you strengthen and stretch the
muscle around the eye.
 ‘Round the Clock
Imagine that you’re standing (or sitting) in front of a
really big clock. Look at the middle of the clock. Then,
without moving your head, look at any hour mark. Look
back at the center. Then look at another hour mark, and
come back to the center. Repeat for every “hour.” You can
also do this exercise with your eyes closed. Either way
will give the muscles around your eye a workout and
help prevent eyestrain.

10. SEEING STUFF
Of all the messages your brain receives from your five
senses, about 80 percent come from your eyes. That’s a
lot of information from two ping-pong-ball-sized orbs
mostly hidden from view!
Because we have two eyes, both facing forward, we can
judge the distance between ourselves and whatever
we’re looking at. Specialized cells called rods and cones
give us the ability to perceive color in bright light, and
see shapes, shadows, and motion in dim light.
The information and activities in this section give you a
chance to explore how your vision works. You’ll discover
how to see in the dark, when you can (and can’t) see
color, what happens when your visual system gets tired
or doesn’t get the information it needs, and how you
can tell a real smile from a fake one.

 L’e-Portfolio è uno strumento digitale che permette una
selezione di artefatti e una serie di schede, mappe, e tabelle che
organizzano i materiali per documentare un progresso o uno
stato nell’acquisizione delle conoscenze e delle competenze.
 A conclusione (reflection on action) o durante (reflection in
action) della unità proposta è opportuno stimolare la
riflessione del singolo studente sulle fasi e le tappe che hanno
scandito il percorso di apprendimento in un’ottica
metacognitiva.
