I want to find out how to dissect an eye to see how the eye works.
Research:
Method:
Equipment
Safety Glasses
Gloves
Scissor
Scalpel
Tray
Eye
Instructions
Get your equipment ready and be safe at all times.
Make an incision between the cornea and the outside stuff. Cut out the cornea out and flip it over
Remove the lens of the eye.
Remove the jelly aka the aqueous humour.
Cut around the sclera (the white in the eye)
Remove the retina
Look for the optic nerve and the blind spot

Once we removed the outer tissue of the eye we got a clearer view of the outside of the eye and could see the optic nerve. We then made an incision in the corner, flipped it over then removed the lens from the eye. The lens looks kind of cool, it’s like a bright greenish, blueish matter shrouded deep within the eye. Once we removed it the eye was pretty empty, then we didn’t have time to finish so we put the eyes in newspaper.
Get all your equipment ready and be safe. Do not put metal in the microwave.
Put on your safety glasses
Cut the grape from top to bottom but not all the way. Leave a small strip of grape skin on the bottom.
Put the grape in the microwave and put the glass cup over it.
Set the microwave to high and turn it on.

The grape died. The end.
Discussion:
Explain what happened in the microwave. Use words like plasma, radiation
Once the grapes were put in the microwave, the grapes begun to melt down into the bottom and the top skin dissipated. It began to fold down and then started glowing due to the plasma taking effect. After around 10 seconds of a literal light show it stopped glowing and we took it out of the microwave. The grape had completely folded down and the stuff on the inside had completely melted into a small puddle. The skin of the grape stood pretty well but was very hot to the touch.
