Abstract
The sense of sight, as one of the most important senses through which we receive a large amount of information in everyday life, is often a very interesting topic for students. By creating a teaching in which students become active participants, a comparative approach can be used to simultaneously observe adaptations of a particular system that have been developed by different groups of organisms. By comparing organisms based on the functional and morphological characteristics of the sense of sight and comparing the ability to respond to stimuli and survival of different organisms, observing from an evolutionary point of view how certain adaptations contributed to the survival of the species, students get a true picture of the living world. In this way, students are given an insight into the ways of development of individual systems and the possibilities of species survival in the ecosystem. The lesson in which students are active participants in the educational process is formed by using a number of interactive content and additional materials (which require a lot of effort and time) and supporting examples that are familiar to students from everyday life. Despite the fact that many students are not accustomed to such an approach, the feedback gathered during and after such teaching indicates that it should not be abandoned because it can develop into a routine in the long run and allow easier adoption of new content such as three basic structural elements.
