Eye Anatomy and Function : Experiment: Peripheral vision
Students learn some ways to investigate the sense of sight, and find out how to plan and conduct their own experiments.
In the "CLASS EXPERIMENT," students measure their central and peripheral visual fields under different circumstances, and learn which areas of the retina carry these types of information to the brain.

Eyes
http://www.digitalbrain.com/digitalbrain/public/subjects/1.%20primary/ks2sci/su4/mod3/exercise4.db_psc
Our eyes detect light. In bright light we see in colour, in dim light we see in black and white.
Light enters our eye through the pupil, the black hole in the middle. It is focused by a lens onto the retina at the back of the eye. The retina changes the light into electrical signals which travel to our brain along the optic nerve. Where the optic nerve leaves the back of the eye we have a blind spot. You can do a simple experiment to show this.

Seeing things - 4learning
http://4learning.co.uk/weblogic/essentials/physical/howwesee_bi.jsp
It was only a few hundred years ago that it was finally discovered how we see things. Before that, it was believed that we saw things because rays shot from our eyes, maybe bouncing back to our eyes or joining with rays of light landing on the object.

How we see things (short unit) (6f)
http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes2/science/sci6f/?view=get
In this unit children learn that mirrors and shiny surfaces alter the direction in which light travels and that when they see objects, light enters the eye. Children contrast reflection and shadow formation. Experimental and investigative work focuses on: -planning and carrying out a fair test -making observations and measurements -recognising when to repeat measurements -presenting results in line graphs -identifying patterns in data. Work in this unit also offers opportunities for children to relate their understanding of light, reflection and shadow formation to everyday phenomena. This unit takes approximately 6 hours.
