Jello Cells! September 26, 2011

Time for mass quantities of Jello to be made! :) This was my fourth year doing the Jello Cell project with my 6th grade classes. It's so fun to see the unique ideas that the students bring to the table each year. In this lab activity, the students are reinforcing what they learned about a simplified animal or plant cell. Within their groups they are to choose items to represent different organelles in their specified cell (green jello = plant cell and red jello= animal cell). Some popular themes involve edible items, such as candy or fruit. Take a peek at the pictures below to view this year's Jello Cell projects. To see the previous year (Sept. 2010) click here. Enjoy!
