Science experiment

Today in science we began to study cells - the building blocks of life. So why not make one! Fill a Ziploc bag full of Karo syrup, add jelly beans, pieces of yarn, a bouncy ball, etc. to represent the little things that float inside a cell. (OK, can you tell that I am making it by the skin of my teeth when it comes to teaching science. Thank goodness for instructor notes and good textbooks.)

The "cell"

Here are the boys showing off their exeriment!
