We learned about cells in science class. There are many different types of cells. And they all have their own unique life spans.
For example, the white blood cells that fight germs have a life span of less than a day, and skin cells have a life span of about 30 days. Did you know? Some nerve cells have a life span of a whole lifetime!
The inside of a cell has Cytoplasm, a jelly like fluid so that the organelles float around instead of sinking to the bottom, like in water.
I made a yellow cake model. The Cytoplasm was lemon frosting, the food bags, Vacuoles, were sweet tart candies, and the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum were Twizzlers pulled apart and laid out like a maze.
My cake was pretty for all except the waste organelles, which were gross-looking jelly beans. But they fit the name. It was really sugary what with all the frosting and candy!
My brother Landen also made a cake. He like when we made metaphors out of the organelles, such as garbage and recycling trucks, an Amazon warehouse (the Golgi apparatus), and the Amazon trucks (the Vesicles).
This is Landen's cake. He has multicolored sprinkles, which act as the Ribosomes. I have all blue, the prettiest color that wasn't yellow, since there already was yellow frosting.
This is my first scrapbook page of the year! I had so much fun making a page about my 1st Birthday Morning.
