Eatible Cell
I have used this type of teaching. We were studying the brain. Our group had to think of a dessert that had to do with grey matter. It was fun to do. The Teacher brought in Pig brain for us to eat and cooked it in the class. Now I can't say I have ever eaten brains.
I have had student use this method for body parts and it was very effective with the other students.
dawn, a good hands on method can cross over to learners of all ages.

I love this idea, I think any hands-on activity will help the students remember important information, and, we all love snacks so that's a bonus !

Paula , I hadn't thought about adding infarcts. What did you use to illustrate them?
Michele Deck
Makes them wake up!!! I have used jello molds of the brain and the heart (complete with infarcts) in order to increase the interst
This is a great idea! and could be used to teach grade school students as well as adults. You could use mini bread tins to make "plant" cells.
Marianne, how was it prepared and what did it taste like?
