Animal Cells and Eli Whitney

These weeks topics included animal cells, Eli Whitney and the Cotton Gin and the state of Tennessee.Here is a model of an animal cell
Here is a picture of Eli Whitney

And here is his cotton gin


Here is our animal cell model, a plastic bag (cell wall), orange jello (cytoplasm), a black cap from a lotion bottle (nucleous) and some small kidney beans (organelles)


Then we made a list of living and non-living things that God created in Genesis 1


My homemade cotton plants, complete with construction paper seeds!



We tried to remove the seeds ourselves, which proved to be a very daunting, tedious, task, making us realize what an important invention the Cotton Gin was



We then studied the state of Tennessee, located it on our maps and learned about the state bird and flower as well as some other fun facts

we also studied John 1:29 as this weeks memory verse
