Like DNA, kiddos feel as though making cell models are doing science. I do assign models for Biology; they help kiddos visualize the organelles, cell wall, and cell membrane. Many families love to make edible, cell models. I have banned them from class. Why? Inevitably, one of the kiddos insists on making the cytoplasm from something that leaks all over the classroom. I still include edible models below. Below are ideas and examples. I nearly forgot Shrinky Dink Models!
1. BJU has 4 Edible Cell Model Projects which include cake and jello models.
2. Build a LEGO Cell.
3. Raid the ink drawer to make a Trash to Treasure: Plant Cell Model.
4. Create a traditional Clay model. These tend to vary in quality.
5. Easy Cell Model can be made from paper or felt.
