The Cell Project

Kara my 7th grader had a project to complete for science. The specifications of this project were very detailed and precise to get an A. Go outside any of the margins and the grade will be lowered... One hundred points possible.. It had to be between 9 - 12 inches in length, no more than 12 inches in width and no more than 10 inches in depth... No glue can show - no loose parts - each item must be labeled with typed print... the teacher preferred her to use ordinary household items for the design... ( a quick trip to Michael's craft store) AND you could not use the same type of material for the entire project - you had to mix it up a bit.... I have to tell you that I am the least creative person you could meet.. my husband is a close 2nd, and Kara not too far behind... We are more A + B = C type personalities - a stick figure is about as good as it gets for me.... This weekend we stepped out of our boundaries... I went on the Internet in search of inspiration and this is what we came up with.... How many points do you think we'll she'll get???
