Product Information
Full details
The Learning Resources Soft Foam Cross-Section Eye Model (LER1907) is designed for children aged 7 and up to explore the anatomy of the human eye. Its key benefit lies in its dual-sided design, featuring labeled parts on one side and letter-only labels on the other for self-assessment, promoting hands-on learning. A potential caveat is that it is a foam model, which may require careful handling to maintain its shape and integrity over time.

Troubleshooting
Labels are difficult to read.
Ensure the model is well-lit. If necessary, clean the surface gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
Model has a dent or crease.
Foam can sometimes be reshaped. Try placing the model in a warm, but not hot, environment for a short period. Avoid direct heat. Gently encourage the foam back into its original shape. If the crease is severe, it may not be fully reversible.
The two halves are difficult to separate or close.
Ensure there is no debris caught between the two halves. Gently wiggle the halves apart or together. Avoid forcing them, as this could damage the connection points.
