Animal Cell Project

For 7th grade science, Riley had to make a model of either a plant or animal cell. The fun part was that the project could be totally edible if they wanted! They could use clay or other mediums for a 3-d project - or bake a cake! Well, he chose edible. Eddie helped oversee this, but Riley chose the cake and all the fun organelles (what? I know - just refer to the science book) made of candies. He also gave an oral presentation of his cell. The kids clapped and cheered for him =) The lemon drop is a lysosome, the circus peanuts are mitochondria, the chocolate cherry is the nucleus, the green frosting is the endoplasmic recticulum, the blue frosting are the golgi bodies and the little tiny sprinkles are amino acids! Wheew!
