Science Lab: Plant Cells

We are starting a new Science book this spring. It's called, God's Design For Life: The World of Plants. We picked up this curriculum over at our friends Answers In Genesis. We have successfully completed the first 5 lessons and are enjoying the journey.

The kids are really getting into copying all that I write on the white board into their Science Lab Books. Who would've guessed!
We have had a wonderful time learning what goes on in our cells and plant cells. The kids have drawn pictures of a cell,




....made a cell model out of paper

and a 3-D model with our favorite, blue Jello!

All the essenials for a 3-D model (well, at least at our house!): Blue Jello, Green Wasabi peas, Craisans, a pink gumball, zip-lock bag and a shoe box.

Craisans as the mitochondria!

Green Wasabi Peas as the Chloroplasts!

A pink gum ball as the nucleus!

Ziplock bag as the cell membrane and a shoe box as the cell wall!
So far we are enjoying this fantastic introduction to Life Science! We think this is a wonderful early elementary curriculum!
