The problem: 4th grade teachers expressed interest in cow eye dissection to help solidify the following Core Content Standards:4-LS1-2. Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brains, and respond to the information in different ways. Emphasis is on systems of information transfer.4-PS4-2. Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen. Exa
