I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Boron Zone. It has a range of scientists studying all different topics. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
Light passes through the cornea and is inverted (turned upside down). It then lands on the retina at the back of the eye. This light energy is transformed by photoreceptors to nervous impulses. These impulses travel via the optic nerve to various sections of the brain, but particularly the visual cortex. The visual cortex decodes the incoming information and constructs the images we see.
