Edible Jello Animal Cell- Trial 1

Our first trial of our edible cell didn't go so well. We did learn alot of things and we are trying again today.

Things we learned:

-The jello must be completly firm- not almost firm
- M & M's, Laffy Taffy and sprinkles are not good candy choices as the coatings melt and the colors go everywhere. The laffy taffy got really slimy.

- The little baggies were not a good choice either.

Things we are changing for trial 2:

- using clear plasic containers
- letting the jello set until firm
- using corn kernels as the lysosomes instead of sprinkles
- using cherry slice gumdrops instead of laffy taffy
- using smarties intead of m & m's
- and we might use a spoon to hallow out holes to put our candy in and then put more jello that has already set up on top of it so that our candy really looks like it is in the center of the cell.

If our 2nd trial works- you'll find out tomorrow and hopefully we'll have some pictures too:)
