Bionic eye module 4
Overview
Learning Outcome: Students predict and evaluate how manipulating different components of the eye may lead to impairment of vision, and relate their findings to clinical conditions and their treatment.
Module summary
Students manipulate models of the eye to represent different disease states, and then work together to find solutions to the challenges to sight that are produced by each disease state.
Design descriptors
- Students manipulate their representations of the eye to explore a series of ‘what if’ statements to determine the effect on vision
- Students use a classification key to diagnose different visual impairments
- Students research current technologies to determine current treatments for conditions and realise the importance of STEM endeavours in treating vision impairment
