Wednesday, December 16th

All classes today worked on the coloring the Shrinky dink Cell!  Please do your homework tonight and bake the shrinky dink based on the directions below!  ONLY use an over or toaster oven, no toasters and no microwaves!!!

Shrinky Dink Cells!

Step 1:  Tape on the cell drawing templates onto your plastic sheet of Shrinky Dink material.  Color the cell.  Using a black sharpie pen, outline the plant cell and animal cell and all their organelles.

Step 2:  Allow the plastic sheet to dry for 1 minute while you label the different organelles on the drawings as a test prep activity.

Step 3:  Take off the tape and paper template on the Shrinky Dink.

Step 4:  At home…
Preheat toaster or conventional oven to 325-350 degrees.
Cut a rectangle shape out of a brown grocery bag or parchment paper.  Turn one corner up (turned-up corner will make it easy to remove from tray or cookie sheet.)

Step 5:  Place Shrinky Dinks pieces, colored side up, on brown paper or parchment and place paper on tray or cookie sheet. Put into the pre-heated oven.

Step 6:  Watch as your Shrinky Dinks shrink. Bake approximately 1-3 minutes. After pieces lay flat, allow an additional 30 seconds of baking time to complete the process.
Remove paper from tray or cookie sheet and lightly press FLAT with chopsticks, or wooden spoon.  A folded paper or pad of paper- until pieces have cooled.
Voilà!  You have a cool project you can attach to your back pack as a zipper pull or you can attach your shrinky dinks to your Cell Flip Charts or make them into Holiday ornaments to hang up in your house or on your holiday tree!

Good Luck!
