Today we completed the Edible Cell Challenge! Our goal was to create a model of an animal cell, as scientifically accurate as possible, using common pizza toppings. They all successfully incorporated the nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosome, and vacuoles. We even saw a few “extras”, including differentiating between the smooth and rough […]

First we observed cork and onion cells under the microscope. The onion cells were stained with iodine, allowing us to more clearly see the nucleus. It was difficult […]
