Tate got a cow's eye to dissect. It sat in the fridge for a few days until I could actually bring myself to do it with him. It was really not as bad as I thought it would be. I couldn't do any of the carving, but he did and he loved it and he was pretty good at it. It did not bother him a single bit! We learned very basic things- his favorite part was extracting the lens and actually seeing how it magnified words if he ran it over a page of writing. Isn't that cool? Marissa and Garett tried to help- but they could only take a few minutes of it. You can see from their expressions that it did not meet their level of comfort.
