Today we enjoyed our first science lesson! We made a model cell using jello, raisins, skittles and malt balls! Students were asked to compare the animal and plant cells and list the differences and then, using the similarities, we made our cell model. Models can be used to represent things that we can’t examine in person. With a model, we can look at dangerous things or small things and draw conclusions about them (taken from HSP Science). This made for a fun and very yummy science lesson. Ask your child/children what they learned today and what the main differences between a plant and animal cell are.
