- I checked out this site and think it is very
informative. There is even a section with activities that is great. You can
help your children learn all about the eye. I passed this site on to my
daughter's teacher. I send her sites that I feel would be helpful for the
classroom and this one definately is! Thank you and keep up the good work!
