Excel students see science lesson

Dr. Sylvia Mende of Tennessee Eye Care in Midtown was the guest speaker for the last Excel after-school science class at Midway Elementary School.

The class of third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students, taught by Vivian Harris, were shown causes of common eye injures, eye replacements and the parts of the eye and their jobs.

Afterward, the students received hands-on experience dissecting cow eyes and identifying their parts.

Parents were invited to attend the class.
