What's in a cell?

A cell is the basic unit of all living things.

In Madison's 4th grade science we have been exploring the properties of cells.

Not only do I want Madison to know what a cell is, but what a cell is composed of and also the different functions that the each of the individual parts of a cell does.

So this brought us to today's fun science project:

Creating a Model of a Plant Cell and an Animal Cell. 

Obviously, this was a very fun project, and one that she could take pride in.

For each model we used Jello for the base, and candies for the parts of the cell. We then combine it with labels to identify the various parts. A very yummy science lesson. :)
