3-D Cell Model
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,This letter is to inform you that your child has recently received his or her assignments for, “The 3D Cell Model Project”. They are responsible for creating an accurate representation of either an animal or plant cell. They are to make a cell using common household or craft materials. All requirements are listed on the attached rubric.The cell project is the first project assigned this year in 7th grade science. This project will count as a test grade. I will be grading their projects based on the rubric that is attached. All students must submit the project on or before the day it is due. There is a penalty of 10 points for each day it is late.The cell model project is due: Tuesday, October 10thGuidelines: - You may choose to turn the project in early. - Your cell must be 3-dimensional. This means it needs to have a front, back, and sides. It cannot be a piece of paper with things glued on it. Your plant cell must be rectangular or your animal cell must be circular.- All parts of your cell must be labeled clearly in order to receive credit; I suggest using toothpicks and pieces of paper to make little flags, as was shown in class.- The cell should be as accurate as possible. The cell parts should be located where they belong. For example, the nucleus should be bigger than ribosome’s and chloroplast should be green.Materials you may want to use:Styrofoam ballsCraft foamBeadsYarnPipe CleanersFeltPom Pom ballsA variety of candyCrayola molding clay or foamPillows*Please do NOT make an edible model*You will use the attached rubric to see which organelles need to be present, accurate, and labeled. You will turn your copy of the rubric when you turn in your 3-D model.If you have any questions about the cell project, please feel free to contact me through email or leave me a message at the main office.Email: pearcec@Phone: 512-943-5040Thank You, Ms. PearceName: ______________________________Period: ________ Due Date: _____________________Grading Rubric- 3D Cell ModelYour cell model must include all requirements shown below. Use the STUDENT column as a checklist to be sure you include all parts of the rubric. Leave the TEACHER column blank for grading purposes.
