Help me give my students the materials needed to deepen their understanding of the world around them as they are able to construct 3-D models of plant and animal cells using the styrofoam balls and the materials listed.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Huynh's classroom raised $338

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are creative, honest, kind, and incredibly motivated to learn. This year we are working on accountability and being more involved in our own education. My students work hard and try their best every single day.
My students enjoy challenging themselves and take the initiative to deepen their learning through inquiry.
In our classroom, we are embracing arts-integrated education. We strive to integrate art into all content areas. We're working hard to mastery of new NGSS standards and encourage students to inquire more about the world around them. These materials would help deepen students' understanding of plant and animal cells as they create 3-D models of these cells.
My Project
Students will be using these materials in order to deepen their understanding of plant and animal cells. Using the styrofoam balls, students will be able to construct 3-D plant or animal cell models. They will use the yarn and pipe cleaners to construct the parts within the cells, such as the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and mitochondria.
This will allow my kinesthetic learners to learn this lesson in a hands-on fashion, and allow my visual learners to be able to reference this lesson as they are able to visualize that various parts within the cell.
Students will gain deeper understanding of cells and that the world around them is made up of smaller parts that are invisible to the naked eye.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
