As an extension to our study in recent weeks of plant and animal cells, we built edible cells in Science Workshop Tuesday. After coating our sugar cookies with icing (cytoplasm), we added other similar features to both cells: a gum ball (nucleus), Twizzlers (cell membrane), Hot Tamales (mitochondria), a chocolate covered raisin (vacuole), and candy sprinkles (ribosomes).We added additional distinguishing features to our plant cell, including green candy (chloroplasts) and Pretzel sticks (cell wall).
The students really enjoyed this hands-on experience. What a fun way to learn to distinguish between the two types of cells and to grasp all of the unfamiliar vocabulary related to cells as we prepare to transition our focus into learning about six major human body systems! Science is Fun!
Students, are you interested in a fun way to review for your Cells Assessment? Click this link for a virtual tour of cells:http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/cell_model.htm

I think the edible cell information is great I can completly understand what they mean.
love maris
the cell cookies were fun . I need to know what a vacuole does.
DA.
MRS.A i loved the edible cells activative it was one of my favorit activates that i have done in school EVER in my life i hoped you liked my emal
Love,Kaitlyn Carter
Dear Mrs.Rabe I think the edible cell information was great.But when I got on I did a cell quiz.And I didn't know most of the words that it said.It had words that I had never heard of before.But I sounded them out.Anyway this was a good website for us to learn more about cell's.
Love Ferney :] :]
