Hands-On STEM Workshop: Build an Edible Plant & Animal - FREE

Hosted by N.E. Love EMPOWER.

Get ready to dive into science with this fun in-person workshop! You'll build your own edible plant and animal cells using tasty treats, making learning biology super delicious and hands-on. Perfect for curious minds who love getting creative and exploring STEM in a sweet new way. Don’t miss out on this tasty science adventure!

• The structure and function of plant and animal cells
• The role of key organelles (nucleus, mitochondria, cell membrane, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, etc.)
• The similarities and differences between plant and animal cells
• How structure relates to function in living organisms

Participants will:

• Construct labeled edible cell models
• Compare plant vs. animal cell structures
• Engage in guided discussion and scientific reasoning
• Take home a deeper understanding of life science concepts

This workshop aligns with the following Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):

• MS-LS1-1: Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells.
• MS-LS1-2: Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function.
• Science & Engineering Practice: Developing and Using Models
• Crosscutting Concept: Structure and Function
