How is the information organized? - classification of solutions to a problem
How many parts does it have? - five (an introduction and four animal examples)
Intro: how vision works, the problem humans have seeing in the dark
1 big eyes (tarsier) - receive more light, but they take up most of the skull
2 reflective eyes (cat) - two chances to perceive the light, but glowing eyes might be a disadvantage
3 slow eyes (toad) - more time to collect light, but it’s a much slower visual experience
4 coarse eyes (moth) - receptors are grouped to detect more light, but they can’t see detail
