AWESOME cells

We began our unit on the body systems on Thursday.  The kids had a lot of fun learning about cells on Friday.  We made cells using baggies.  We put various items inside the cells and then took notes on what each item stood for.  So, if a gooey cell made its way home this weekend, you now know what it is!

Baggy: cell membrane
Mint: nucleus, the white inside was the nucleous
Mike and Ike: mitochondria
Yarn: chromosomes
Red hot: lysosomes
Gushers: golgi bodies
Noodles: vacuoles
Hair gel: cytoplasm

They really enjoyed this project!
