• Cornea

• Iris

• Pupil

• Retina

Label the parts of the eye diagram: What does the cornea do?

• Acts as a shield to protect the eye from injury or infection

• Surrounds the pupil

• Focuses light on the retina in the back of the eye

• Makes the eye more sensitive to light

Label the parts of the eye diagram: What is the Iris?

• Black, circular opening

• Colored part of the eye that surrounds the pupil

• A cone in the back of the eye

• The white part of the eye

Label the parts of the eye diagram: What does the iris do?

• Acts as a shield to protect the eye

• Regulates the amount of light that enters the eye

• Gets bigger or smaller depending on the amount of light

• Receives light

Label the parts of the eye diagram: What is the pupil?

• The black, circular opening in the middle of the iris

• A student

• The colored part of the eye

• the clear protection over the eye

Label the parts of the eye diagram by identifying what the pupil does:

• Controls the amount of light entering the eye

• Constricts or becomes smaller with bright light

• Dilates or gets bigger with dim light

• Protects the retina from damage

Label the parts of the eye diagram: What is the lens and what does it do?

• Transparent structure behind the iris

• Focuses light on the retina

• Acts like a shield to protect the eye

• Is also colored behind the eye so that we can see color

Label the parts of the eye diagram: What is the retina?

• A light sensitive tissue at the back of the eye

• A photoreceptor

• A rod

• A cone

Label the parts of the eye diagram: What is the retina made of?

• different colored cells

• rods

• many black circles

• Cones

Label the parts of the eye diagram: What do cones inside the retina do?

• Detect color

• Function best with bright light

• Detect black and white

• Function best with low light
