I am looking for good hands-on eye safety demonstrations.
I have done the following:
1. Take two pair of safety glasses. Cover one eye of each with painters tape. The right side works best since most people are right eye dominant. 2. Get two student volunteers. Have each put on a pair of the glasses. 3. Give one of the students a soft foam ball, about tennis ball or softball size. 4. Have them play underhanded catch. Depth perception is lost and makes catching the ball difficult. 5. Let other volunteers do the same. 6. Follow up with a class discussion about what the loss of an eye would mean to a student. What would they no longer be able to do?
Students experience what the loss of an eye can mean to them.
If you have any other hands-on PPE demonstrations, please pass them on. I would like to reinforce this demonstration.
