What will I do?

Examine your eyes and ears using a mirror.

What are the different parts of the eyes that you see?
 What part of the ears do you see?

Answer the following questions:

What are the different parts of the eyes? ears? How do you
take care of them?

What’s the meaning?

The eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin are the sense organs of
the human body.
The Human Ey

The eyes are our organs of sight. Each part of the eye has its own
function
Parts of the Eyes
Cornea – is a transparent layer of the eyes that protects the outer
layer of the eyes
Iris –is the colored part of the eye. It controls the light that passes
through the eyes.
Pupil- is the black round opening in the eyes. The light enters the
eyes through the pupil.
Lens – the lens adjusts the focus of light. As you look at near or far
objects.
Retina - Is the innermost layer of the wall of the eyeball. A sharp
image of what you look at is produced at the center of the retina.
Optic nerve – The optic nerve moves signals to the brain. The brain
translates the signal, then you see the object.
Care of the Eyes
1. Have enough light when reading or writing. Rest your eyes
once in a while when reading or writing.
2. Avoid looking directly at bright lights. Use sunglasses in the
presence of bright light.

The ears are your sense of hearing. They help you identify the
different sounds in the environment. They also help to keep your
balance so you will not fall or feel dizzy when you move your
head.
Parts of the Ears
Eardrum – is a thin membrane that separates the outer ear from
the middle ear. It vibrates when the sound waves coming from the
ear canal hit it.
Pinna – is seen as the outer ear that is attached to the head.
Ear canal – is a short slightly S-shaped tube that leads to the
eardrum.
Care of the Ears
1. Never poke any hard object into your ear. It may
damage the eardrum.
2. Clean your ears regularly with cotton buds or with
soap and water.
3. Stay away from places with very loud noise. Loud
sounds may cause too much vibration that may lead
to deafness.

What’s more to do?

Activity 1. Directions: Match the parts of the eyes in column A with

 What did I get?

Our Eyes
 The eyes have pupil, retina, lens, optic nerve and iris.
 The light enters the pupil.
 The lights brand the light, making an image in the retina.
 The nerve endings in the retina send signals to the optic nerve.
 The optic nerve connects to the brain.
 The brain tells what they see.
Our Ears
 The ears have outer layer, middle, and inner parts.
 The outer part catches the sound.
 The sound waves reach the middle part.
 Three small bones in the middle part vibrate.
 The vibration goes to the inner part.
 The inner part has nerve endings.
 The nerve endings pass the sound waves to the brain.
 The brain tells what you hear.

Care of the Eyes

 Have enough light when reading or writing. Rest your eyes once
in a while when reading or writing.
 Avoid looking directly at bright lights. Use sunglasses in the
presence of bright light.
Care of the Ears

 Never poke any hard object into your ear. It may

damage the eardrum.
 Clean your ears regularly with cotton buds or with soap
and water.
 Stay away from places with very loud noise . Loud
sounds may cause too much vibration that may lead to
deafness.
