Wow. Great value.
Reviewed By: Roger 
We ordered both the frog and cow eye kits. Both were great, but the cow eye was the biggest hit. The printed guide is excellent. The specimen was low odor, and was beautiful on the inside. My only regret was at this price, we should have ordered two so each child has his own eye to explore.

Would you believe beautiful?!
Reviewed By: Cinda 
We were feeling a bit squeamish about dissecting the eye, but were surprised by the inner beauty! Thank you for the pamphlet that let us know exactly what we were looking at and what it does.

Reviewed By: Theresa 
We are using the Bob Jones Grade 7 Life Science Curriculum. This dissection kit was very easy, simple to follow, and a great supplement to our sense organs unit. Thanks so much for this, and your other resources!!

-  Tuesday, April 06, 2010 Exactly what we needed! Reviewed By: Sean  The cow eyes for our dissection arrived extremely quickly. I used the eyes last year for the first time. They were just as expected this year. The kids LOVE this dissection, and the ease and look of your specimens is fantastic. Thanks for making them affordable and convenient.  -  Monday, November 16, 2009 Excellent kit! Reviewed By: Jenn  I am a home school mom, teaching a kindergarten and 1st grade student. This kit was extremely helpful in teaching the parts of the eye. Before we got the kit we were just using pictures and drawings of the eye. They understand the parts and how they work together so much better now. The guide was very easy to understand and follow. I was very surprised that it didn't have any kind of smell. I would recommend this to everyone.  -  Wednesday, October 07, 2009 Perfect for kids of all ages Reviewed By: Lorra-Lee  We purchased this for my daughter's 7th birthday. The guide was easy to follow and the specimen was in excellent condition. With assistance, she was able to view all parts of the eye. The lens was was just as described in the guide. There was no obnoxious smell.  -  Wednesday, July 15, 2009 Great product Reviewed By: Chris  The product was perfect for our science class. The students enjoyed the hands-on experience, and the product arrived in a timely fashion.  -  Tuesday, March 24, 2009 Just what the teacher ordered! Reviewed By: Mel  This was beautifully put together and made our study of the eye so much more interesting.  -  Wednesday, January 28, 2009 A big hit! Reviewed By: Dr. Justin Bazan  As part of a Science Day event for a local grade school, I did a couple of cow eye dissections. Such fun! Everyone learned a lot and had a great time. This kit is excellent!  -  Tuesday, December 16, 2008 Great project Reviewed By: Kathy McAnany  Our 8 students, 5th-8th grade, enjoyed the project. The specimens were very well preserved with only a slight odor. The student's WOW overcame their EW as they followed the good directions and graphics for the dissection. A very positive learning experience.  -  Saturday, December 06, 2008 Great item! Reviewed By: Raymond Gutierrez  The eyes are in good condition and the easy to follow directions give an excellent demonstration lesson in class. I have used these items many times in my classroom with very good results each year. They can be stored on a shelf for months before using.  -  Sunday, October 05, 2008 awesome experience   I truly recommend this kit, which comes with everything you need to perform the cow eye dissection, including step by step instructions. Very informative and educational, and the price can't be beat! And super-fast shipping! I will definitely use your products in the future.  -  Friday, August 08, 2008 Cow Eye Reviewed By: Paula Russell  Wonderful dissection kit. My daughters were so fascinated with the cow eye. My children have been doing biology and animal dissection throughout the summer and they have really enjoyed it. They really don't realize that they are doing Science work for school. To them it is just amazing fun! My kids love homesciencetools. They are constantly looking through the catalog wish for everything in it! Way to go homesciencetools!  -  Wednesday, June 25, 2008 What a hit!   The cow eye dissection kit was wonderful. It has everything you need -- cow eye, tools, and dissection guide. I also purchased disposable gloves for each child. Eight children and their moms participated in a dissection class at my house. A kit was ordered for each child. The children were fascinated and loved the experience. The parents were amazed at how much we learned in one class. I definitely plan on ordering more dissection kits from your company. Thanks.  -  Wednesday, May 14, 2008 Kids Loved Them!   I purchased this kit and 15 eyes for my daughter's fourth grade science teacher. The class had planned to do a virtual dissection, but nothing is quite like the real thing. A quote from the teacher: "I have never seen such joy and excitement among the students. . . It was AWESOME". I highly recommend this for school or home use, but do suggest purchasing a stronger tray for repeat use.  -  Saturday, February 16, 2008 Here's Looking At You Reviewed By: E Estabrook  The preserved eye was in excellent condition and the guide very helpful. I was a little disappointed with the dissection tray. I bought the kit hoping that the tray was reusable for other planned dissections. Unfortunately it was a Styrofoam tray and will not last long.  -  Thursday, February 14, 2008 Eye see you!!! Reviewed By: Jessica Moody  My son wasn't in to dissection and really didn't want to do it, but he needed to in order to pass his test. I bought this kit to help him prepare for his big day. At first he was alittle skittish but a few min in to it and he was having a ball! He found all of the different eye parts with the instructions very easily. He enjoyed it so much we have plans on buying the rest of the dissection collection. Thanks!  -  Sunday, January 13, 2008 Awesome Cow eyes Reviewed By: Sandra Sweet  I've been wanting to do this for a couple of years. The kids were both thrilled and grossed out. Very well preserved, tools were good. Clear instructions, too. Very satisfied  -  Thursday, October 18, 2007 Very kewl! Reviewed By: Colleen Geddis  Got this as a gift for my 7 yr old nephew, who had been asking for it for months. He is totally excited about it, though his mom isn't. He he he. My son has volunteered to do the disection with nephew. Eye looks to be in great condition and the kit is awesome. Shipping was super fast. What an awesome learning opportunity! Found tons of info on line about the disection as well. I'm sure, we'll be back to "home science tools" when he wants his next specimen.  -  Saturday, October 06, 2007 Mmm...Cow eyes! Reviewed By: Darla Giambattista  The eye was in excellent condition. The tools were first rate as were the instructions. Everything we needed to make an icky homeschool day (for mom anyway) a lot easier! I remember my first whiff of formaldahyde...  -  Sunday, June 03, 2007 cow eye   The eye was in very good condition and the dissection guide very helpful.
