Super+Cells

= = = = = = = = =Super Cells!=

Wow! We are learning so many new things about cells in class! All living organisms are made of cells. Most cells cannot be seen with our eyes! There are more than 100 trillion cells in the human body!

We compared cells to a factory by making analogies!



Want to know more about cells?
There are so many activities I would like to do in class, but we don't have the time. Check this website: http://www.kathimitchell.com/cells.html

Edible Cell Models
Complete an edible cell model! Be sure to make a key of the different parts and complete the questions at the end. Bring it to class before you eat it! Let us see what you have done! Go to http://www.mccreary.k12.ky.us/smithtown/plantcells.htm Since we are moving on to a new area of study, this is no longer available for extra credit.

Check out Shelby's edible cell cake!

The best part was eating it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-ShelbyG.

This cake was awesome!!! Did you know that if there were no such things as cells there would be no plants,animals, or people around -Carlee S.

Chase's cookie cake was also a great model of the cell parts!

=Microscopes= We looked at real cells, drawing and writing about what we saw. We love our new microscopes!

Student Posts
So...what have you learned in class? Have you read anything else interesting on cells? Post here! Be sure to put your first name and last initial so that we will know who you are!

Did you know that white blood cells fight off germs that could cause you to get a cold? Sydney

Did you know that you started out with only one cell? Zack C.

Did you know that pathogens can make people sick? -Heidi C.

Did you know cells multiply by two every time they multiply.So when you were going to be born you were only 1 cell, then that cell multiplied by two. So you had 2 cells then they multiplied and so on. - Sydney.M

A scab works like a bandage;it protects the cells. Paige L.

Did you know that two cells were joined together to make you-Carlee S. __maesa:__3D cells are very fun to make, me and my classmates had a blastmaking them. they are also hard to make! you have got to pay close attention!!!!!!

__cool cells__ do not ever pick at a scab anywhere!! why? because, all scabs are made of dry bood!
 * did you know that your own body makes the scabs

to pertect other cells from comming out of your body......it's true!!!!!! maesa.

3D Cells Making theses cells was very fun!But it looked hard at first ,but you had to pay close attention on what you had to do on making them.Eireonia

3D Cell Models
We made models in class! Each student chose what he or she wanted to use to make the different cell parts! We had everything from floam to lifesavers on them! Click here to see our work!

There are many questions you may have about your body. See if you can find your answer here! Warning! Enter at your own risk! http://yucky.discovery.com/noflash/body/pg000008.html
