The Five Senses - Lesson 2: Sight
ACTIVITY: Colorful Eyes
Objective
Students investigate eye color found most frequently among the boys and
girls in the classroom.
Materials
Prediction graph; eye marker for prediction graph; eye color graph; eye
markers for eye color graph; glue stick; small mirror; model of the eye
Procedures
- Students predict which eye color they think will be found most often in
the classroom by placing an eye marker on the prediction graph under the eye that
is colored the color that they think will be found most often.
- Students take turns looking into the small mirror to determine their eye
color.
- Students place an eye marker with their name on it onto the eye color graph
under the color of their own eyes.
Discussion
- Did the color that you thought we would find most often turn out to be
the one that we did?
- If we visited another classroom, would we find the same eye color more than
any of the others? Why? Why not?
- Would we find the same eye color to be the most common if we had looked at
the girls' eyes? Boys' eyes?
