5th Grade Cell Projects

Mrs. Jones 5th grade class has been studying cells in science this past couple of weeks.  The students were asked to build 3-D models of cells to assess their understanding of the material and learn about the functions of the different organelles with a cell.  Mrs. Jones noted that this project helps her students understand the complexity of a cell and that it certainly must be purposefully designed!
