The Incredible Edible Cell
April 15th, 2010
My daughter’s 6 weeks assignment was to construct a model of an animal cell. All materials used must be edible (except for the labels) and remain fresh all day without refrigeration.
This is how we did it and what we used:
Cytoplasm – Rice Krispies Treats
Cell membrane – Fruit Rollup
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum – Trident gum
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum – blue sugar sprinkles
Nucleus – Brownie
Nucleolus – Easter Egg m&m
Vacuoles – Easter blue m&m’s
Golgi Body – Raisins
Mitochondria – Striped Fruit Rollup
Ribosomes – Multicolored Sprinkles
Lysosomes – Easter pink m&m’s
I think it turned out great! Hope she gets an “A”.
