How Do You Make An Animal & Plant Cell Model With A Cake?
Learning about plant and animal cells is fundamental to science courses, from elementary all the way to doctoral studies. For most, the creation of a cell model for a class is a labor without profit. Shortly after the presentation, the cell becomes a dust collector on the top shelf of a closet or makes a quick trip to the trash. If you have been assigned to make a plant or animal cell model—or just want a project to educate your children while giving them a treat for their academic pursuits—make a tasty, instructional cell model out of cake. Mix the frosting with a few drops of red to make pink for your animal cell or with a few drops of green to make your plant cell and frost the top of the cake. Add a bit more food coloring to make the frosting darker. Frost the sides of the cake to represent the cell wall.
