What Is It?
My son made this today. Not during art, but during a science lesson.
I'm thinking it's bacteria -- some kind of cell for sure. The bag's the cell membrane, stuff inside is... well, the stuff inside, nucleus, golgi, ribosomes, etc.
He's got me on the things sticking out, though. Looks like a more fun lesson than I remember in third grade.
Creative guesses! Brett was on the right track, while Steve R. nailed it down... It's an atom. The green grapes are protons, the purple grapes are neutrons, and the blueberries on toothpicks are the electrons outside the plastic wrapped nucleus.

Atom or molecue?
I'd say it is a molecule. But my chemistry isn't good enough to tell what one off the top of my head.
That is definitely an atom with netrons, electrons, and protons in orbit around the nucleus!!!
I am with the rest of the class, molecul was my first guess.
One daughter thinks it's a spider egg sac with babies hatching and flying away.
The other white blood cells attacking a virus with antibodies.
I'm leaning toward microscopic fungi
It's looks very familiar to something we made with gumdrops :) an atom perhaps with all it's parts?

Hmmm, olives and grapes? Y'all are thinking too much - this is a trick question.

I'm guessing viruses invading cells? And the plastic wrap is to hold stuff together, a tricky red herring.
Superman's Fortress of Solitude in biodegradable form.
This looks like something out of my new Green Eggs and Ham cookbook.
Nine olives outside a central thingy.. maybe its our Solar System?

Did your son eat his homework later on?
It looks like something I found way in the back of my fridge this past summer...except mine was covered with mold.
At first I thought a procupine but when I read it's science I also thought some sort of atom!
