Have You Ever Considered the Eye?

Hello Parents and Students,
We have started a two-day project constructing the eye. The students used foam paper for all of the parts. We first looked at a picture of my eye and talked about its parts. Then we used red for the optic nerve, blue, brown, and green for the iris, tan for the cornea, plastic for the lens, white for the scelera, and glitter for the rods and cones located in the retina. We had a lot of fun!!
The only homework is pwb sheet 123.
