The Seventh Grade Science Class has been studying cells, diffusion, and osmosis. We conducted multiple experiments to better understand the concepts. The cumulative project was designed by individual groups with a wide range of ideas. The project focused on the functions of organelles in a eukaryotic cell. Students thought of a separate entity and designed their projects around the function of organelles. Projects include a volleyball court, a 2006 Chevy Silverado, John Deere X9-1100, Santa’s workshop, and a softball field. Ms Allen stated, “This class did an amazing job of demonstrating their knowledge through this project.” “ I am excited to be a part of their educational journey.”
