Edible Plant and Animal Cells

High school Biology students this week showed off their knowledge of plant and animal cells by creating their own cell models.  Students were very creative in the materials used to represent the shape and function of a cell as well as the organelles (tiny organs) that are responsible for the metabolic activity of a cell.  Some cells were constructed from craft items, cakes, brownies and even cheese!  In addition, elementary students were invited to view and ask questions.  This provided the perfect opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and mastery of state standards by explaining/describing to our young guests.  This was not only fun and educational but delicious!
