Cellular Anatomy
While we are still using Ambleside for the majority of our secular subjects, we chose Human Anatomy over
their science this year. We purchased the accompanying notebook and
Froggy is using that for guide for her narrations. Our first topic was
cellular anatomy. Froggy illustrated the structure of the cell as we
read about it.
She is so thrilled with the science that we actually struggle to contain the excitement enough that I can read the information to her.
The best part in her opinion is the projects that are included in the book. This week's project was making an edible cell to demonstrate cellular anatomy.
Froggy added all of the organelles following the key I provided. She
had a blast deciding how many of each organelle and where they should be
placed.

Yellow jello formed the cytoplasm
This is what it looked like when she finished adding the organelles
.
And here is the unmolded version. She was so proud of the finished
product that she gave an exquite unprompted narration telling him about
all the different organelles. I don't know how much she will remember
when revisit this in her next cycle but it is amazing watching the joy
now.
