Making an animal cell pizza model was one of our family favorite activities in homeschooling.
Whether you are doing high school biology or elementary health, making a pizza model of a cell is fun. Using food is one of my favorite ways to encourage a love of learning in your kids. Who doesn’t like eating to learn animal cell model?

Complete listing of ingredients and what they symbolize is found in activity guide below. For a limited time, you can get our Animal Cell Model Activity Guide for free. Simply, enter your name & email below. We’ll send it to you immediately.
I browned all the sausage and froze it for future meals.
You can use pre-made pizza sauce, but I made my own. Add garlic powder, basil, pepper to a can of tomato sauce…easy!
Spread sauce on crust. Leave a border of crust to resemble the cell wall.
Slice toppings. The ham piece was the hardest.
Place tomato & mushroom in center to symbolize nucleus & nucleolus.
Bake pizza in your oven. Follow directions for the crust you use.
After baking, allow kids a chance to identify the organelles. Then Eat & Enjoy!

Looks like a fun activity. We will be doing high school biology this year. We will not be doing many labs because we do not have a microscope.
Karen,
This is a FUN activity. The activity guide has some great sites that show what you see under a microscope – for those that might not have a microscope

Hi, can you give me a recipe for a vegetarian’s version? My teacher’s vegeterian so I have to make a vege pizza
All you have to do is change the non-vegetarian items to something your teacher can eat.
