These past few days in science were some very fun ones. This past week, in science class, we got to study cells. To add some fun with the study of cells, Mrs. Poole allowed each table (4 people) to create an edible cell. I was so excited!!! My group (table 7) all took part in baking, bringing, and supplying parts to create our edible cell. I had a blast. oUr cell was made out of vanilla flavored cake. Each person brought in sweets and candies to build our edible cell. We labled our cell parts with tooth picks and answered questions from Mrs. Poole about what each part in a cell does. Then, Mrs. Poole took a picture of the cell and gave us our "result
To be more focused ont he subject, I didn't really learn from this project. I loved doing it because it allowed each table to get creative in so many different ways, but I didn't learn as much as I'd like to. I think, in the future, that the edible cell project shouldbe done close to the finishing of the unit of cells and living things. I think this because it allows students to reflect on allthey've learned throught the unit and put it altogether to create an edible cell. Thsi project was a blast for me, but I wouldhave prefered it to be pushed back so other and more important things couldbe accomplished.
The edible cell was one fun group project for me and I hope the science teachers continue to dO it. After all, this project was allowing more and more student to find fun projects in educational lessons. This project was a great and fun project I hope to do again with something else in science. Even though I did not learn much, there is always time for fun. Even if its at the end of a project or lesson. Good luck upcoming-seventh graders! I hope you get to enjoy this project.
