My Eye

Light
enters my pupil so smooth.
It
is controlled as my iris moves.
I
guess you say, what can make me see this way?
My
eye (my eye, my eye)
Talkin’
about my eye (my eye)
My
retina sees you upside down.
And
so much smaller; but don’t you frown.
I
guess you say, what refracts light my way?
Cornea
(cornea, cornea)
Talkin’ about cornea (cornea)
Talkin’ about cornea (cornea)
Hey!Hey!Hey!-------
Hey!Hey!Hey!
Rods
are nerves that like dark and light!
Cones
make sure I get my colors right!
I
guess you say, what keeps you near always?
My
lens (my lens, my lens)
Talkin’
about my lens (my lens)
Nearsighted-
I can’t see you far away!
Farsighted-
Step back to make my day!
Talkin’
about my eye!
Lots of Matter
(Tune of Pretty Woman)
Lots
of matter in you and me.
Lots
of matter volume and density.
Lots
of matter in all shapes or in all sizes.
Hardness,
color, and odor leave no surprises.
Mercy
Lots
of matter its mass does not change.
Lots
of matter you might think it strange.
Lots
of matter your weight can fluctuate, don’t blame
your
mass on the altitude game.
Grrrr
Lots
of matter – things just won’t stop
Lots
of matter – hard to push them to the top
Lots
of matter- inertia has its way
Lots
of matter- pulled by gravity
Lots
of matter- falling don’t you see.
Lots
of matter- earth’s mass makes us stay
Volume
is measured in units three:
Cubic
centimeter, millimeter, or c.c.
Lots
of matter, look at density
Is
the crown gold, Archimedes?
Put your body in
Water level breaks
Take your body out
That gold crowns a fake
I
guess the king is sad to say
That
goldsmith has ruined his day!
What have we learned today?
Lots of matter comes our way! Written by:
Mass and volume here to stay! Sarah Odom
Woahh- Oh Lots of Matter! Eureka! 08/21/00
The Blind Date!
Pearly Mae- Oh no,
What am I going to do? I’ve got a friend
who says she has me a blind date. How do
I date a blind boy?
Class-
Pearly, A blind date doesn’t mean the boy’s blind. It means he’s never seen you before.
Pearly
Mae- You mean he’s not blind. Oh that’s great. Well what will happen when he sees me for the
first time.
1st-
Well, light will travel as waves from your body to his eye. Doesn’t that sound neat?
Class- do wa diddy diddy dum diddy do
Pearly
Mae- OK so far so good, Then what?
2nd- His cornea,which
protects his eye, will allow light to pass through.
3rd- The black part, called the pupil, will continue to pass the
light on.
4th- His iris,
the colored part, will determine if the light is too bright or too dim and make
adjustments for allowing light in. Don’t
shine too brightly, Pearly!
Class-
do wa diddy diddy dum diddy do
Pearly- You mean he sees me with those baby blues?
5th- That’s not exactly what we said. Listen
closely! Once the light passes through
the pupil, it is refracted through a lens
and it makes a real object on
the back of his eye.
6th- Oh and Pearly, your real image is upside down
on the back of his eye.
7th-
But the great part is that you’re smaller.
Class-
do wa diddy diddy dum diddy do
Pearly- So his first impression of me is an upside
down dwarf!
8th- Don’t jump to conclusions, Pearly. The real image is projected on his retina, or the back surface of
his eye.
9th-
If he is nearsighted- you might have to get a little closer for him to get a
clear picture of you.
10th- Or if he asks you to step back, don’t assume
you have bad breath! He could be
farsighted.
11th- Better yet, He could be wearing corrective
lens so you won’t have to move at all.
Class-
do wa diddy diddy dum diddy do
Pearly- Should I wear bright colors so he can see me?
12th-
Only if you want to really stand out.
His eyes have rods to
determine light and dark. These nerve cells send signals of light and dark to
the brain.
13th- Cones
are nerve cells that determine color and send color signals to the brain.
14th- 5% to 8% of all guys have trouble with their
cones. But love is completely blind, so
don’t worry Pearly!
Class-
do wa diddy diddy dum diddy do
Pearly- But what if he’s a real blind, blind date.
15th- Just wait for a reaction on his face when he
sees you.
16th-
If he smiles- You go, girl!
17th-
If he frowns- Tell him you came to deliver a message from his date that she
couldn’t make it because of the measles!
18th-
If you see no reaction- Take it as a
hint!
You have a blind date!
Class-
do wa diddy diddy dum diddy do
THE
END!
