I am a little nervous thinking about cutting into the eye. I don't know if I will be able to do it, but I will be in a group of four so if I can't someone else will probably be able to do it.
I think it will be exciting to see the parts of the eye that we studied about and I think it will smell a little. When I touch it I think it will be squishy. |
I'm so excited!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for the eye dissection. Dr. Braunstein is so interesting and informative. I learned so much from him last year. My favorite part of the dissection is looking at the lens. What do you think your favorite part will be? |
My feelings about the dissection are excited and I think it is going to be awesome. I think it will feel like oobleck and will smell like a dead animal. I think this is going to be an awesome experience! |
My thoughts about dissecting an animal"s eye are not too great. It sounds disgusting, and I'm sure it will look disgusting too. I'm nervous, but a little excited. I think the eye will feel gooey and mushy. I think the eye will smell like expired milk. I'm a little nervous, and a little bit excited. " |
I think that I will feel a little nervous and a little excited dissecting an eye. I think that the eye will feel like holding or touching a squishy small bouncy ball. I also I think that it will smell disgusting too. This will probably be difficult because we will have to cut through the little parts of the eye and I hope I don't mess up. Last, but not least, I will feel like I will probably want to do it again. |
I think that when I touch the sheep's eye, it will be slimy. It might take some time to touch it, but it will be nice to feel. I might be a little bit nervous when Ms. Flynn puts the eye in front of me. The sheep's eye might smell a little bad because sheep don't smell so good. This experience probably will be a cool and exciting thing to do. This is my first time that I will dissect an eye. I think it will be nice to look at different parts of an eye when we just studied the eye. |
I think I will be nervous about dissecting the eye. When I touch it I think it will feel like a hard ball. I think the smell will be gross if there is one. I think it will be hard to cut the eye because I think it will be like a hard ball. Those are my thoughts when I am dissecting the eye. I'm a little excited too. |
I think it will be cool but a little weird. It will be cool because it's something you do in older grades. It will be weird because it will be slimy and gooey. |
When I dissect the eye I think it will feel squishy and smell really weird. I can’t wait until I cut open the eye and take out the aqueous humor and the cornea. I wonder if we can see what kind of lens the sheep has and if we can see through it. I wonder what color eye the sheep has. If the sheep has a retina, I hope we will be able to see the rods and cone. That’s what I hope will be doing when we dissect the eye. |
Before the dissection, I feel a little nervous and really excited. I think that when we get to see the eye, it will be an adventure since we have never seen a real eye before. It is going to be amazing with gloves on and looking at the cornea, the lens, and other things. Even though teachers will be there, it will be hard since we have never done this before. It probably is not going to be really disgusting but this is not a thing that you would do all the time. I think this is going to be great and I think it will be the best activity that we are going to do in 5th grade. |
I feel disgusted about dissecting an eye. I think the eye will feel squishy. I don't think the eye will smell. I think dissecting the eye will be extremely difficult. The only person who dissected an animal's eye was my sister. I am not looking forward to dissecting an eye. |
Right now before the dissection, I feel nervous and a little bit excited. I would feel nervous because I would not know what would happen and what to expect. When I touch the eye, I think that the eye would feel gooey and squishy. I think that the eye would have a little smell but not that stinky. For me, I think that dissecting a sheep's eye will be hard because I've never done this before. That is what I think about before I dissect a sheep's eye. |
I’m really excited about dissecting the eye! But it’s going to be very gross. When I touch it, I think it will be squishy and gooey. It will probably be hard to dissect because we have to cut out so many different parts. I also hope it doesn’t smell or stare right at me when Ms. Flynn puts it on the table. I wonder what color the iris is or how big it will be, and I hope the vitreous or aqueous humor doesn’t ooze out. What are we going to use to dissect it? I hope it’s not a knife. Knives are scary. Finally, I hope it is fun. Those are my thoughts about the eye dissection. |
Before the dissection I feel excited and I can’t wait. When my teacher puts the eye in front of me I will feel excited to dissect an eye for the first time in my life. If I touch the eye I think it will be disgusting and mushy. I do not think the eye will smell bad. I think it will be unscented. I think dissecting an eye will be hard because I have never dissected an eye before. I feel REALLY nervous. |
I am so excited about dissecting the eye. Right now, I am kind of grossed out, but my mom said it is not that gross. Since we are taking out all of the parts, I think I should at least pretend not to be grossed out. For once, science could be two things at once. Gross and exciting. We are dissecting a sheep's eye. I wonder if it will be disgusting or not. I think it will be very gooey because of the aqueous and vitreous humors. I don't think it will have any scent at all. It will probably be hard because the parts of the eye are delicate and we want to see them, not cut through them. It is a great opportunity to learn about the eye. The delicate eye structure makes it easy to cut through but we want to cut it correctly. This will be one of the best things in science this whole year. |
I have many feelings about dissecting a sheep eye. First of all, I am not scared. It feels cool dissecting a sheep eye. When I cut the cornea off the eye, it will feel like cutting the skin off of a tangerine. When I look in the eye it will feel like looking at my brother's face. When I touch the eye I think it will feel wet. I think the eye will smell like a garbage truck. The one part that might disgust me will be looking at the retina. These are my thoughts on dissecting a sheep eye. |
I feel thrilled to dissect the eye. Though it may be a bit gross, I still feel excited. I think the eye will feel squishy and watery. Eyes need water or else they will dry out and there would be no more vision. Yes, I think it will smell because the sheep eats smelly things. That smell then goes to the brain and also makes the eye smelly. I think it will be difficult because the eye is very fragile and can fall apart easily. I think dissecting an eye will be a great learning experience. |
My thoughts before I dissect the eye are excited because it is my first time dissecting anything in my life. It will be something fun because we get to see the actual parts of a sheep's eye. This is a great thing to do because it helps me get smarter. I will get a little grossed out once I actualy see the insides of the sheep's eye. I am looking foward to dissecting a sheep's eye. |
I feel a little nervous. I don't think I ever dissected anything before. I'm mostly excited and not that worried. When I touch the eye it will be cool and a bit gross. I never touched an eye on purpose. I think it will feel a little slimy and squishy. It will probably be wet and feel cool in my hand. It might smell a little, but I don't think it will that much. It might be a little difficult, but I don't think it will be that easy. It will probably be somewhere in the middle. It will probably be a lot of fun. |
On February 11th, 2009, I am dissecting a sheep's eye and I feel grossed out. I'm going to have to see the cornea, the aqueous humor, and all the other gross things in the eye! First, we have to cut out the cornea. Next, we pop out the lens, yuck! Then, we have to take out the aqueous humor. It's going to feel so gooey and squishy! Then, we have to look at the vitreous humor and the retina. Yuck, yuck, YUCK! I'm gonna have to be strong. |
I feel excited. I think it will feel squishy. I think it will smell. I think it will be diffiult. I think the eye will be cold. I also think I am a little scared. It is also disgusting because we cut the eye out and and the vitreous will come out from the middle. Then we have to pop out the lenes. But I have to be strong. |
To start things off I know I am excited about this. It is probably going to be the most amazing sight I've seen in science. Hopefully, we may be able to see the retina. This will probably be in my mind forever as it will be the first thing I've dissected in my life. We would be able to see all of the liquids inside of the eye like the aqueous humor and the vitreous humor. Hopefully, the eye will be right next to me so I can see what it really looks like up close. Although it is a very amazing sight it will probably smell like one of the most putrid things i have ever smelled. Either that or it will smell like... Well, nothing. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get to touch the eye! That would be one of the best moments of my life, how about you? I'm wondering how all the others feel about this. Maybe they think it's gross or maybe the boys think it's cool like me. I would be a little nervous about this though. I mean what if I dissect it in the wrong way? They don't give second chances you know. I wish that I could eradicate the thoughts of this nervousness as I would call it. I mean I'm about to do one of the coolest things ever and I'm worried about it? I can't believe that I could think that this would be hard. I do feel a little bad though. I mean I wouldn't like it if someone took my eye out and then cut it open to show some other species. The only way it would be okay with me was if i'm dead but hopefully I will not die anytime soon. The sheep's parents must be at least a little sad as well. I'd probably weep myself to sleep if that happened to my kids. Man, I really hope that nothing goes wrong. We probably won't be able to do this again until... well, college. I really hope that I don't get partnered with someone I like. If that happened then we would probably fight on who would dissect it first, who would dissect it second, and who would dissect what. How would you feel if you got in a fight with your best friend? I know when I get into fights with my brother, my sister, my other sister, my friends, or really everyone, I feel like I started the fight or I will always feel guilty. I wonder what it really will be like as in not my fantasy. I know it will be extremely cool, but in reality what will it really be like? I'm really gonna be sad if I can't dissect it. I really don't want to be sick on that day. What if I have a violin lesson? Will I have to miss it? Well, there it is all my thoughts on a dissection. Hope you have a nice time reading them. |
I think this dissection is going to be awesome. The only thing I have ever dissected in my life is an owl pellet. My mom once helped a surgeon do surgery. That is how close my family has been to dissecting. That is why I am extremely happy about this. When I touch the eye I think it is going to be mushy and gushy. It will also be wet and moist. I can not wait to acually see how the parts of an eye looks. I think it will smell like nothing. It might have a small scent of sheep. I do not know how sheep smell. I do think it is going to be difficult, but with the help of the other three people in my group, we can do it. I think this eye dissection is going to be a once in a lifetime experience. When I was in primary school, I always imagined me dissecting a frog, not an eye. But since we are dissecting an eye I am even happier. I can't wait to touch the retina, cornea, vitreous humor, aqueous humor and more. I can hardly believe that I am acually going to dissect an eye. This is so cool!!!!! |
I am really nervous about dissecting an eye but also scared. The eye will feel sticky and slimy. I hope it doesn't smell because then I will feel sick. I hope it is not hard to do when I cut into the eye. I love animals so it will be hard for me to see a dead animal's eye. I am really excited and scared to dissect this eye. |
