Jello Plant Cell Models

This project was more about process than product, LOL.  Originally the idea was that the candy pieces would represent the parts of a plant cell ... the cytoplasm was the jello and the kids then had creative freedom to come up with the rest of the parts.  The cells ended up being more like jello with candy on top and the labels didn't make it into the mix, but the kids had SO MUCH fun.  And we got to spend some time with our cousins, so life was pretty good.  I'm not sure that this is a good representation of a homeschool project, but it sure does represent quality time with family :-)

I paired this project up with a short lesson from God's Design for Science ... man I'm really enjoying that curriculum!  It's a science curriculum with a Christian worldview ... ummmm, yes please!
