Summative task

In this lesson, students will complete an application form to be considered for a fictional research project at one of the Bionics Institute’s laboratories. They will need to evaluate what they have learned so far about sight and seeing, explain why they’d like to participate in research and explain how they’d like to make a difference in that laboratory.
