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!

You have such creative students. I like it.
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 :)
Hey! So happy to come to your blog! Sounds like teaching is going pretty well. That's awesome Michael's teaching seminary. My dad teaches seminary in spanish.
