You might use the gumballs or marshmallows as the actual eyeball. Then have the students create an eyeball using the other supplies. Have them use the black licorice for the pupils or iris. You might find someother type of candies to use for people with different eye colors other than dark colors. The red licorice or string can be used to illustrate how red, tired, and itcy eyes might look.
Hope this is useful,

Yes...most schools have teachers certified in Health and Physical Education. Some teachers prefer to teach one over the other. Some enjoy doing both. If you interview at a particular school looking for someone to teach just Health, you could be a real asset. In general...schools do not have strictly just Health and Wellness teachers. I wish they did!
I live in Indiana and have my Physical Education degree but was 2 classes short of my Health Certification. I found a local private college that is expensive that i can get the 2 classes at. Are there any online classes or other ways i can attain my health certification? Thank you!
