Pizza Cell

When we combine fun and learning, great educational results are obtained with an unforgettable child’s smile. Six graders at ABAT College organized a “Pizza cell” activity related to the cell organelle’s lesson. The activity’s purpose was to model how organelles are suspended in the cell’s cytoplasm.
 The students prepared beforehand the pizza ingredients that they will use to represent the various organelles such as: onions for endoplasmic reticulum and green pepper for Golgi bodies. Throughout this exploration, students deepened their knowledge about cell organelles and their functions. At the same time, this independent inquiry helped students clarify misconceptions about the distinctions between animal and plant cells.
One of the unforgettable and happy moments we shared was when a group of students was crowned for solving a word puzzle and revealing its hidden message during a very short time.
After all, we cannot but welcome the appreciate participation of our dear parents and hope they have enjoyed our activity and tasting our delicious pizza.
Finally, our Special thanks is dedicated to our precious principal Mrs. Ghina AlBadawi and our trustworthy Ms. Dounia Baddereddine. I cannot also forget my handy cooperative colleagues: Ms. Sahar, Mrs. Nisreen, and Mrs. Jinan.
Keep in touch for more activities at ABAT College.
