In Anatomy & Physiology, we have been studying the cell, and it's various parts and functions. So for a fun project, we made an edible cell out Jell-O. The Jell-O was the cytoplasm, then we had Jelly Belly mitochondria, Skittles lysosomes, Smarties golgi bodies, fruit roll-up endoplasmic reticulum, cake sprinkles ribosomes, Twizzlers Pull-Aparts centrioles, and a bubble gum nucleus. We invited some friends over to join us in the project who hadn't been reading the same text, so it gave Aile a chance to teach them about the parts of the cell and test what she had learned. All the kids had fun, and it turned out to be a neat project, worth repeating! (Also, as a bonus to us parents, all those different candies in the Jell-O turned out to be not quite as yummy as the kids had hoped, so they really didn't eat all of it!) :)
