I bet they don't do it like this at school...

So. Cells (and all that stuff).
Time for textbooks then?
Nah!!! Innovation and resourcefulness are a home educator's middle names.

First get 2 place mats.
Then get a few printouts on plant and animal cells from http://www.enchantedlearning.com/
Then buy a large quantity of assorted sweets.

Ready, get set -

No don't eat them yet!

- go!

Strawberry flavoured plant cell wall. Yum.



Liquorice nucleus and nucleolus






It's starting to take shape.















Voila - a plant cell!






Plant and animal cells.


But before you can eat anything, kids, you need to find out the similarities and differences between the cells...







Then the compulsory photo opportunity.





Now...eat!!!
