I can’t stress is enough that anything created is done on a trial and error process. I have learned this firsthand from the video shown above. As you have seen my cell didn’t exactly compare to Se7en’s perfect cell model.
First I went to the candy store and although, I went there with a plan I ended up buying more than what I was going to use. Next I went home and prepared the jello which is the foundation of the model. I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one person in our class does not know how to make jello. Hey I didn’t until my son was about one and a half and I ran out of things (food in particular) to introduce him to. 
. Steps to making jello are
- boil one cup of water
- dispense all of the jello package into the boiling water
- mix until all jello grains are dissolved
- immediately add one cup of cold water
- pour into desired bowl and refrigerate
These instructions can also be found in the jello package.
I used my imagination, a biology book and started to visualize the organelles according to images. This was very helpful.
The negative aspect of this project is the lack of assorted color candy in the market. another negative, is the color I chose for the jello next time I think I’ll use yellow (somatic cell) and green (plant cell). Lastly, another negative part is that I am not a HUGE candy fan so I didn’t get to eat much. 
.
One a brighter note, I will keep working and have open mind to what I can do to make my education tool work better the next time around.
