[00:00:00]Happy explorers [music] come learn and play. Where fun meets learning every day.

[00:00:08]>> Hello happy explorers. Today we're solving one of the biggest mysteries inside the human body.

[00:00:15]How do our eyes see?

[00:00:19]We use our eyes every single day to read, see colors, play games, recognize faces.

[00:00:28]But have you ever wondered how does seeing actually work?

[00:00:33]>> I have, especially when I spot cookies from very far away.

[00:00:39]>> Today we'll learn how eyes work, how light enters the eye, how the brain helps us see, why blinking is important, and we'll even try a fun blind spot experiment.

[00:00:54]>> My eyes are ready. Very round, very owlish, very snack-detecting.

[00:01:02]>> Before we begin, it's rhyme time.

[00:01:08]>> Blink [music] your eyes and look around.

[00:01:11]Colors, shapes, and lights are found.

[00:01:15]Big, bright [music] eyes help us see books and birds and buzzing [music] bees. Light comes in so quick and bright, helping [music] us see day and night. Brain and eyes work as a team, [music] like a science superhero dream. Wink and blink and look this way.

[00:01:40]>> Our amazing eyes help every day.

[00:01:46]>> Hoo hoo! That rhyme was eye-opening.

[00:01:49]>> Orbit.

[00:01:50]>> I've been waiting all day to say that.

[00:01:54]>> Our eyes help us see the world around us. They help us see colors, read words, watch movement, recognize people, stay safe.

[00:02:07]>> Without eyes, I might accidentally hug a cactus.

[00:02:12]>> That would be painful.

[00:02:14]>> And embarrassing.

[00:02:15]>> Eyes collect information and send it to the brain.

[00:02:19]>> So, eyes are like body cameras?

[00:02:22]>> Exactly. Your eyes gather pictures, then your brain understands them.

[00:02:29]>> My eyes send important information like cookie detected.

[00:02:34]>> Let's play I spy.

[00:02:37]Look around and find something red, something blue, something shiny, something with words.

[00:02:47]>> I found a pencil, a book, and half a cookie under the couch.

[00:02:53]>> Orbit.

[00:02:54]>> What? My eyes are talented.

[00:02:57]>> To see something, we need light.

[00:03:01]Light bounces off objects and enters your eyes.

[00:03:04]>> So, light is like a tiny messenger.

[00:03:08]>> Exactly. The light enters through the front part of your eye.

[00:03:12]The dark circle in the center is called the pupil.

[00:03:16]>> Pupil?

[00:03:18]I thought that meant kids at school.

[00:03:20]>> Your pupil changes size depending on light. Bright light leads to pupil gets smaller.

[00:03:28]Dark places leads to pupil gets bigger.

[00:03:32]>> My pupils get huge when I see pizza.

[00:03:36]>> That may be excitement.

[00:03:38]>> Same thing.

[00:03:39]>> After light enters the eye, messages travel to the brain.

[00:03:44]Then your brain says, "Oh, that's a tree." Or "That's a cat."

[00:03:50]>> Or "That's definitely my snack.

[00:03:54]>> Your eyes don't work alone. Your brain helps understand everything you see.

[00:04:00]>> Teamwork again.

[00:04:02]>> Your eyes send signals through nerves to the brain. Then the brain processes the picture super fast.

[00:04:10]>> Like a body computer.

[00:04:12]>> Exactly.

[00:04:13]Your brain helps you understand size, recognize colors, notice movement.

[00:04:21]>> My brain once thought a sock was a mouse.

[00:04:25]>> What happened?

[00:04:26]>> I screamed. The sock stayed calm.

[00:04:30]>> Blinking helps keep eyes wet, remove dust, protect eyes.

[00:04:37]>> So blinking is like tiny windshield wipers.

[00:04:41]>> Exactly.

[00:04:43]Humans blink many times every minute.

[00:04:46]>> I tried not blinking once.

[00:04:49]>> What happened?

[00:04:50]>> My eyes felt like dry toast.

[00:04:54]>> That's why blinking is important. Let's try a silly challenge. Can you blink slowly, blink fast, wink one eye?

[00:05:05]>> I winked both eyes by accident.

[00:05:08]>> That's called blinking.

[00:05:10]>> Oh.

[00:05:11]>> Now it's time for an amazing eye experiment. The blind spot challenge.

[00:05:18]>> Mystery science time.

[00:05:21]>> Draw a star and a dot.

[00:05:25]Place them apart on paper.

[00:05:27]Now, one.

[00:05:29]Close one eye.

[00:05:31]Two.

[00:05:32]Look at the star.

[00:05:34]Three.

[00:05:35]Slowly move the paper closer.

[00:05:38]At one point, the dot disappears.

[00:05:43]>> Wait. The dot vanished.

[00:05:46]>> That's your blind spot. Every eye has a tiny spot where it cannot see.

[00:05:51]>> My brain filled in the missing part?

[00:05:55]Mine deserves a cookie reward.

[00:05:58]>> To keep eyes healthy, eat healthy foods, sleep well, rest from screens, protect eyes in bright sunlight.

[00:06:07]>> Carrots help eyes?

[00:06:10]>> Carrots contain vitamin A, which helps eye health.

[00:06:13]>> I knew carrots were secretly superheroes.

[00:06:17]Why did the eye go to school?

[00:06:20]To improve its pupil skills.

[00:06:23]>> Orbit.

[00:06:24]>> Eye humor is a vision of greatness.

[00:06:44]Good thing light doesn't enter through elbows.
