Material Detail
Jello Cells
Cells as 3D objects is a difficult concept for students to grasp as all diagrams and cells under the microscope appear as 2D objects. This activity allows the students to build 3D cell models and so have a concrete example to help them to develop this concept.

3-D is always better than 2-D. And who doesn't like playing with jello =)

A fun way for students to familiarize themselves with the parts of cells. However, ziplock bags may be a better alternative to plastic sacks.

It's an interesting take on the cell model project. I've known students to do jello cells on their own for the project, but I've never seen an entire class making their own during school hours. I'm not a fan of jello, haha, but it could be fun for the students to try it out.
