Wait, so how do you put a piece of candy in a bag without opening it? By ripping a hole in the side?

For a given definition of "in", you could push the candy in through the stretchy plastic to the center without breaking the wall. Or, if you push all the way through, it's probably going to be the smallest hole necessary.

  Build the bag around it?

TL;DR: You push the candy into the side of the bag, deforming the side of the bag without puncturing it. You can reach your hand in the opening and tie a string around the candy nodule then cut the excess paper off. Now you've gotten the candy from the outside to the inside without having exposed the inside of the bag to the outside!

    Your hand entering the bag is just to simulate the mechanical forces within the cell - if you look at this image (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocytosis#/media/File:Endocytosis_types.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocytosis#/media/File:Endocy...) it might help to visualize the mechanism in question.

      It's literally impossible to perform the activity as specified in this lesson plan (in a normal classroom environment). Inserting your hand will cause some exposure of the inside of the bag to air. Also: "Heresy kisses" -- Nice proofreading. Damn good thing this lesson plan isn't meant for students to view directly. Is it too much to ask for commercially-supplied teaching tools to go through a basic quality control process?
