Tracy Moody, an Anatomy instructor from NSU, visited the Newell School District on Wednesday, October 2nd. During her visit, she brought a sheep heart and a cow eyeball for students to dissect. The students had the opportunity to dissect the eyeball, removing the lens and other structures while learning about the different parts and functions of the eye.
