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 Organs Zone. It has scientists studying health and disease in various parts  of our bodies. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
Hi purpleflyingmonkey,
Everyone has the ability to see underwater, just not very well! Some people are used to opening their eyes underwater and can therefore see better. Others aren’t so familiar with the feeling, or just don’t like it! As the surface of the eye is regulated by tears, keeping your eyes open underwater is a strange feeling that doesn’t agree with us, because the tears and hence the regulation is no longer there.
In the case of a crocodile, the addition of another pair of “eyelids” that are clear and closed when underwater, means they can keep their eyes open and see very clearly underwater.
Hope that makes sense 😀
