Eye for and Eye

Warning: This post could be considered gross by some.


Ellea's science class got to disect cow eyes a few weeks ago and parents were invited to watch/participate. I told Ellea I was planning to come in for the dissection. She was happy to have me. She figured I could hold the garbage can for her to throw up into!


After my cadaver lab in human antomy at the University of Idaho (Go Vandals!!), I figured I could handle anything. It wasn't so bad. The odor was a little strong at times. I even helped some of the kids when the teacher was busy elsewhere.


I was very proud of Ellea for getting involved. They were split up into groups of three and I expected her to sit back and watch, but she did great! Not her favorite thing ever, but she got through it.

And I didn't have to hold the garbage can for her!!

Awesome, awesome. Tell Ellea that even some of my college students can't handle the cow eye dissection. They DO stink. This is so cool, makes me want to have kids in science!
