Science Fun: Edible Cells

This year Cailin will be studying biology, namely, anatomy and physiology.

Her first lesson was about cell structure.

She made (baking lesson included) a brownie edible cell.
Using, frosting, marshmallows, sprinkles, nuts and a few other things she created all the components of a human cell.

Ever the writer, she loves to journal about her readings and discoveries in her pre -made journal. I almost didn't buy this book, as it wasn't necessary, but it sure has been a great addition to her schooling. There's just something more enticing and fun about writing and illustrating in this book as apposed to a plain sheet of paper.

The books contain many hands on activities for her to further imprint to her mind what she's been reading about.

Here she filled in a pie chart about about the purposes of each part of the cells.

The book authors compared each function to various functions of a town....police, grocery store etc. This definitely helped her better visualize how it all works together.
