All students participated in the dissection of the sheep eye. It was a great learning experience. The class started with guest speaker Dr. Ferguson, a scientist who studies opthamology and immunology at Washington University. The students then experienced hands on learning where they got to dissect the sheep eye.  Pictures are posted in the photo gallery.
