Mr. Dahl’s Classes Make Cell Models

On October 24th through November 4th, Mr. Sam Dahl’s seventh-grade science classes at Springville Junior High School made cell models.  Students had about three weeks to make a cell out of whatever material they could.  Mr. Dahl said, “Many students used styrofoam spheres and modeling clay to build their cells.  Some used food products.  I had one student make a big sugar cookie with different types of candy to represent the parts of the cells.”  

Serina Mumford, seventh grader in Mr. Dahl’s science class, said “I got to think and figure out what to do with my cell.” According to Mr. Dahl, students should have learned the parts of the cell and what the functions of the parts are.
