All Things Cellular


For the last little while I have been teaching a cell unit to my 5th graders.  Its been interesting and I think they have liked it.  The best part of the whole thing was the cell models.  They were supposed to create a 3D model of a cell and present it to the class.  They had NO clue what to do when I first explained the assignment, so I took Michael's suggestion and made one out of Jell-o and candy.  {he made one like that in school}  My students thought it was great.  So on the day it was due what did I have... 15 cells made out of Jell-o.  I guess they are still learning how to be creative.  These are a few of my favorite.  {They are also some of the most original} They all did a really great job!

Brian and I did that as a project together in 9th grade biology. Our jello cytoplasm rocked, and our mitochondria were yummy :) We got our picture in the yearbook for it :)
