An Educational - And Tasty - Experience
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: November 5, 2008
Students at Independent Day School use food to learn a lesson in science.
Third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students were given food items to represent parts of the cell structure. The hands-on project was designed to give students an idea of how human cells look.
Blue and red Fruit Roll-Ups represented Golgi bodies and endoplasmic reticulum. Round cake sprinkles were the ribosomes. Four hot cinnamon candies were the mitochondria. Four chocolate-covered raisins were the vacuoles. A single jelly bean represented the nucleus, and the cell itself was housed in orange gelatin.
