Jello Cells!

Today in class we made Jello cells!  Most of them traveled home today, but some will be coming home on Monday. 

Ask your student what the following items symbolized in a real cell: 

Ziploc bag (cell membrane)
Jello  (cytoplasm)
Pinto Bean (mitochondria)
Lemonhead (nucleus)
Pasta noodle (vacuoles) 

We also created cell analogies.  Students had to choose something from the real world and compare it's parts to that of a cell.  The picture below is how a house is like a cell.
