Cell-ebration!

Last weekend I got a call from one of the biology teachers I know. She asked me if I could come in to her class on Monday and help her out. She was having a Cell-ebration. What is a cell-ebration you must be thinking? ( If you are a Biology teacher this is a great thing to do in your classes) Well the students had to make a cell out of all edible things. So the cell had to have all it's parts in it, like a Nucleus and Mitochondria and Golgi apparatus and so on. It was great fun. The teacher brought some pop (soda) and then after they were graded, they could eat their cells. Now let me tell you some of them didn't look that edible, if you know what I mean. In every class there were also three awards to be won and some of the other teachers would come in and be the judges for those. The awards were for the most attractive one, the most accurate one and the most disgusting one. The students brought in things like cake and Jello puddings with frosting and different kinds of candy and cookies to represent the different parts of the cell. Some students went all out and even used potato chips, ketchup, macaroni, cheese, tomato's etc. So you get the picture of what some of the most Disgusting ones looked like.
So this was a fun day for me and it was a great way of meeting new kids.
