To begin our study of human anatomy, we started with the basic cells.
There are over 200 different types of cells in the human body.
We carefully colored some of the cells.
We looked at the mobile designs of Alexander Calder to get some inspiration for making our own mobiles.
We had a variety of supplies from the MakerSpace to choose from.
One of the biggest choices was what to use for the horizontal beams of our mobiles.
He chose a combination of chop sticks and pipe cleaners.
Pipe cleaners are always a winner.
They can even make a sign!
Tape came in handy.
Having fun.
They looked awesome hanging above our desks!
"Ta da!"
This one won the longest design.
"Look at mine!"
Using a microscope, we looked closely at some body cells.
We then drew the cell on our lab reports.
STEAM at its best:
Science:
cells-->tissue-->organ-->system-->us!
Technology:
using the microscopes and
watching Magic School Bus Goes Cellular
Engineering:
using supplies to make a balanced, hanging mobile
Art:
these are absolutely works of art!
Math:
measuring the length of string and the weight of each cell
