The human eye is an amazing thing. Our sight is a special gift that allows us to see the world around us. It is one of the five senses. All of our senses are important, but our eyes and the sense of sight is something that is not to be taken for granted.

Are you learning about the human body in your homeschool? Or maybe you are wanting to teach your children the five senses and dig deeper by doing a unit study on the human eye. When learning about the human eye, you may also want to study vision, and learn more about eye doctors and their careers.

And before you know it, you are down the rabbit hole of learning more and more! Homeschooling is enjoyable because there  is so much flexibility to learn about many different things that are connected. They can be learned along side each topic by creating your own unit studies and themed lessons that complement each other.
