How Do You Make An Animal Cell For A Science Project?
Animal cells are a part of almost every middle school science curriculum across the country. Rather than doing typical cell drawings, allow the students to create edible cell models. Your students will be excited about the project and can be creative while making the cell model accurate at the same time. Of course, the student can be allowed to eat the finished products, after the project has been graded. Cookie Cell Model Step 1 Divide your students into groups of three or four. Give each group a cookie, frosting and a variety of the candies. Students must wash their hands before they begin. Step 2 Spread the frosting over the cookie for the cell’s cytoplasm. The cookie itself is the cell membrane. Require your students to design a key or legend for their model as they are making it.
