Jello Cell Model

One of the first projects we completed in science was our jello cell model.  The girls loved this one.  Not only was it educational,  it was edible, something we like to do very much around here!!

In the unit, the girls were learning about cells and what they are made of.  As they put the model together,  they had to explain what each item represented in the cell and what function they have in the cell.  My kiddos always remember things better with some hands-on learning.

Here's a few pics of the fun:

I tried to catch them eating the M&Ms and gummy worms, but they are sneaky little boogers. 

The kiddos had fun doing a school project and I had fun watching and grading.  Home schooling is the BEST!!!
