Jello plant cell project

We have been searching for a science curriculum for awhile now and I thought we were going to go with REAL Science Odyssey (RSO). We even tried out a couple of their sample activities and really enjoyed them. The program just didn't seem to stand out enough to justify the price of the pdf so I decided to go with Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding (BFSU) which I had heard so many good things about. It is a lot more work but I think the way the lessons are planned out are genius…

Edible Jello Plant Cell Project

Today we made a {yummy} model of an animal cell. Biology is my focus in Science this year with Maggie and Aidan. So far we are loving it. Ty...

Edible plant cell for my 5th grader. Used jello , marshmallow, cookie, etc and Melon peels for cell wall.

At some point in their academic careers, many students must create a diorama, model or other hands-on project as a follow-up to a lesson. Often teachers use these projects as a way to cement the information in students’ minds and add some fun to the classroom. One very popular project is the cell model. Many teachers require their students to draw cells or to create cell models in boxes or bags. Some students get creative and make them from wax or clay. Others choose to gain snack points and…

Plant cell cake

I’m so beyond exited! I have a book trailer for Ghost Ride—check it out!!!! And the most amazing thing about this—it was put together completely and independently by a group of tech-savvy grade 8 students!!! Earlier this year I did a presentation at a school with an incredible teacher-librarian and enthusiastic audience. I mentioned the idea of a book trailer and one girl said she’d happily take on the project. I gave her a copy of the manuscript—something I wouldn’t normally do!. She read…

Science project, jello model plant cells (plant cell project)

Way back at the beginning of the school year (September 27th to be exact) we studied Cell Structure and Function. A fun way that the students reinforced what they learned was by creating Jello Cells. In this group project the students either focused on an animal cell or a plant cell. The animal cells were made with red gelatin and put in a round container. The plant cells were made with green gelatin and put in a rectangular container. The students had fun picking out different items to…

Edible Animal Cell made from a Cantaloupe, Strawberries, Grapes, Raspberries, Nerds, Gummy Worms, Big League Chew and Fruit Roll-up

We're studying cell structure in our 5th grade science section right now. Rather than simply drawing another diagram we decided it would be pretty sweet to make a pie that illustrates the parts in a simple animal/plant cell. We didn't just glop stuff in there though, we studied the characteristics of the elements in the cell and tried to find ingredients with similar properties that would still be pretty tasty if mixed together in a pie. Here's the list of ingredients we came up with: Brodie…
