Optics Test and Exam Review

On Friday we wrote the optics test.....Friday AFTERNOON, nice work!   Next week will be dedicated to exam review so make sure you have your blue review questions and the plate tectonics MC questions with you.   Good job everyone on Thursday's eye dissection. 

Common Eye Defects

Today we watched a video on common defects of the eye and filled in some notes based on it.  Know where light converges on your retina if you are far-sighted and near-sighted and how lenses can fix the problem.  A second video showed how our brain adjusts the upside down image on our retina for us.  At the end of class we went over some of the multiple choice questions on the optics review.
