I'm so glad you had positive results with this.
I used this activity with one of my classes in a survivor style challenge review. I had a mix of students at various stages of education and was trying to come up with a fun way to review things new and old for all of the students without leaving anyone left out. An anatomy teacher came by to be the judge and pick the winning team. Some students at first thought that their cells were all wrong, but what the anatomy teacher had pointed out was that actually all of the cells were correct that they were just in different stages of their life cycle. The students loved it and still talk about it to this day. Many even posted pictures to the Facebook accounts prior to eating them.
Great idea of using candies to show the students the development of cell, they can also eat them when the presentation is finished.
Yowanda, I'm so glad you like this idea and I hope it helps your students learn.
I really like this idea of using candies for cells and also using liquorice for veins is an awesome idea. It will engage the student in showing the development of the cell as well as how the blood travels the circulatory system.
