Jello plant cell project

Plant cell cake

We have been searching for a science curriculum for awhile now and I thought we were going to go with REAL Science Odyssey (RSO). We even tried out a couple of their sample activities and really enjoyed them. The program just didn't seem to stand out enough to justify the price of the pdf so I decided to go with Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding (BFSU) which I had heard so many good things about.

Often teachers use these projects as a way to cement the information in students’ minds and add some fun to the classroom. One very popular project is the cell model. Many teachers require their students to draw cells or to create cell models in boxes or bags. Some students get creative and make them from wax or clay. Others choose to gain snack points and…
