Today's post will be about the hardest  lesson that I have encountered over the past semester. That lesson is learning the parts of a cell. When my science teacher first taught us the parts of a cell and where they we located, it was pretty hard for me to memorize them all and know were all of them are. After a week, she started to talk about the parts all the time so I kind of got them. Finally, Mrs. Poole introduced the cell cake. The cell cake is a cake that you have to design the parts of a cell and label them. At first I did not feel good about this project, because I knew little about the cells, but when I opened the science book to see how it looked like I started to read and understand the book more, and more, because I always had to glance at the book to really get a feel of what this cake is going to look like. Once we made the cake, I could already tell were all the parts are and what they do. The more I was really focusing on this project, I knew more and more about the cell. Now I can name some of the cell parts and tell you what they mean.

The lesson that I have learned from this was to never give up and to really focus on something you are not really sure of. I really like to do projects like these, because it helps me learn more and more, than just getting a book and reading almost half of it. I feel that if more and more teachers start to do "hands on" activities, then you will see more children and adults start to pay attention and really memorize all of this. This is how I know were all the cell parts are and what they do.
