[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 488137, member: 1233"] If you ever want/need ideas for this kind of thing, just ask. I first did a cell model with a friend of my mom's teenager. I was driving across the country and stopped at their house overnight, planning to stay an day because I wanted to spend time with their oldest 2 because I used to babysit them years before. L, the oldest daughter, had to do a model of a cell and was totally lost - actually was resigned to flunking the assignment. I used plain knox gelatin, a few peas, coffee beans, various shapes of pasta, etc... to help her do the project. (If you use coffee beans and/or uncooked pasta you need to coat them with clear nail polish to have them not discolor the gelatin - live and learn, lol!). I got a call 2 days after I left from L - she not only got an A+ (her first in science), her teacher kept her model and showed it to all the classes and all the teachers in the teacher's lounge!! It gave L the courage to try some things like that which was cool to see. I also did this with another girl I babysat, and with Jess. Jess and I just did it for fun when she was in 5th grade. HER idea of fun, lol. She just loved a biology coloring book my dad gave her. Having homeschooled so many different ages, I either have ideas or sources to find them for a wide range of projects and experiments. feel free to ask. I LOVE this kind of thing! [/QUOTE]
