👁️🗨️ Hands-on learning in action at SCHS!
#ShelbyvilleCentralHighSchool Health Science students, under the instruction of Becky Davis, wrapped up their final unit on vision yesterday with an exciting and interactive lab experience. #Students completed a cow eye dissection along with a 5-station vision lab to explore how the human eye works and how vision is assessed in healthcare settings.
🔬 Vision Lab Stations Included:
👀 Snellen Eye Chart – Visual Acuity Testing
🎨 Ishihara Plates – Color Blindness Screening
🌀 Hubbard Disk – Peripheral Vision & Glaucoma Testing
💡 Pupil Reaction & Accommodation
🧠 Eye Structure Identification
These future healthcare professionals gained valuable hands-on experience while applying classroom knowledge to real-world skills. Great job to all of our students for their hard work and participation! 👏🩺
