Cell Model


...Scout's back in school and he made this model of a cell - and silly me - I didn't take a picture of it in the morning and when he brought it home in the afternoon - the candies and such that he had used for the different parts had sort of melted into the agar agar - he said he got 100 points though - his teacher must have graded it before the melting started - in hidnsight - we should have used marbles instead of jawbreakers and real ribbon instead of ribbon candy - but we went with Scout's ideas for what would look perfect in the clear gel...

  3. It does look impressive!

    The South Pole is only 2 degrees warmer than the UK - it's chilly!

    Just going to look up the weather in your neck of the woods.

  4. Now that's just awesome, melted or not. What a great project...he earned 100 points!

    My girls could live on peach jam. They'd eat sunbutter and peach jam sandwiches every day if I let them!

  7. I have to tell you, last night I saw a programme about dogs and their domestication. They were talking about scientific stuff and they said 'mitochondrion' - hello, I thought, I've seen that word somewhere today - flipped onto here and there it was on Scout's cell.

    Thanks Scout, I now know it is part of a cell.

  9. The Citric Acid Cycle Explained:
    1. Eating gets it going

    Whenever you consume anything (but especially fats, carbs, and sugars), the food must be converted into a basic form of energy within the mitochondria...

    It's that mitochondrion again!

    Because of this post, I know it is part of a cell! The article means so much more for knowing that.
