Cell Model Directions - Warren Township Schools

[Pages:3]3D Cell Model Instructions/Rubric

Due Date: __________

Construct a three-dimensional (3D) model of either a plant or animal cell. Show all parts listed below and number all parts!

Guidelines:

? Use common materials such as Styrofoam, cardboard, wood, paper, cereal, play-dough, string, buttons, pipe cleaners, beads, yarn, etc.

? Be creative, you do not need to spend serious money to make this model! ? Do not use jello, edible fruits, vegetables, or anything that will spoil! ? Create a table as a labeling key: number, organelle, & function. ? Make sure all organelles and numbers are securely attached to the model. ? Location of organelles within the cell must be shown correctly. ? Labels and descriptions of organelles must be typed! ? Identify your model cell as plant or animal using a label. ? Project should not be larger than a Frisbee in size. ? Prepare a base for your model. ? Put your name and period on the base of your model. ? Can earn a bonus (+5) if the class votes your model best of show!

The model you choose to create must include the following organelles:

PLANT CELL _____ Cell Membrane _____ Cell Wall _____ Chloroplast _____ Cytoplasm _____ Mitochondria _____ Nucleus _____ Nucleolus _____ Golgi Complex (body) _____ Endoplasmic Reticulum _____ Large & Small Vacuoles _____ Nuclear Membrane _____ Ribosomes

ANIMAL CELL _____ Cell Membrane _____ Cytoplasm _____ Mitochondria _____ Nucleus _____ Nucleolus _____ Golgi Complex (body) _____ Endoplasmic Reticulum _____ Medium & Small Vacuoles _____ Nuclear Membrane _____ Ribosomes _____ Lysosomes

Using a Key: (example)

Number 1

Name of Organelle Cell Membrane

Function of Organelle

Allows for the transport of materials into & out of the cell. Protective covering.

- Put your name and class period at the top of the page. - Beneath the heading, label your key plant or animal cell. - Use textbook/internet resources to research the function of cell organelles.

2D Cell Model Instructions/Rubric

Due Date: __________

Construct a two-dimensional (2D) model of either a plant or animal cell. Show all parts listed below and number all parts!

Guidelines:

? Use textbook or Internet resources to identify cell structures. ? Use large poster paper to draw the cell and its organelles. ? The drawing must be large and organelles clearly visible from a distance. ? Use materials such as: play-dough, string, buttons, pipe cleaners, beads, and yarn to

give your 2D poster some 3D effects. ? Make each organelle a different color for easy identification. ? In a large font, TYPE the name of each organelle & attach to the poster. ? Include a table/key at the bottom of your poster with three columns:

color, organelle, & function. ? Make sure all materials are securely attached to the model. ? Location of organelles within the cell must be shown correctly. ? Identify your model cell as plant or animal using a label. ? Can earn a bonus (+5) if the class votes your 2D model best of show!

The model you choose to create must include the following organelles:

PLANT CELL _____ Cell Membrane _____ Cell Wall _____ Chloroplast _____ Cytoplasm _____ Mitochondria _____ Nucleus _____ Nucleolus _____ Golgi Complex (body) _____ Endoplasmic Reticulum _____ Large & Small Vacuoles _____ Nuclear Membrane _____ Ribosomes

ANIMAL CELL _____ Cell Membrane _____ Cytoplasm _____ Mitochondria _____ Nucleus _____ Nucleolus _____ Golgi Complex (body) _____ Endoplasmic Reticulum _____ Medium & Small Vacuoles _____ Nuclear Membrane _____ Ribosomes _____ Lysosomes

Using a Key: (example)

Color Light Blue

Name of Organelle Cell Membrane

Function of Organelle

Allows for the transport of materials into & out of the cell. Protective covering.

- Put your name and class period at the top of the page. - Beneath the heading, label your key plant or animal cell. - Use textbook/internet resources to research the function of cell organelles.

Cell Project: Board Game or Song/Television Video

Think a little outside the box and create a board game or cool song/video about the parts of a plant or animal cell.

Song & Video Guidelines:

- You must include the information about the organelles listed below and what they do for the cell.

- If you like, you can include information about both plant/animal cells and compare, or you may focus on one type of cell only.

- Your project must be educational, with the goal of teaching the concepts in an interesting and unique way.

- If you make a video, record it on CD so I can play it on the SmartBoard. - If it's a song, you will need to either record it or perform it live! - If you want to use musical instruments, bring them in too! - Can earn a bonus (+5) if the class votes your song best of show!

Board Game Guidelines:

- Board game must include the organelles listed below. - Location and function of the organelles should be a part of your game. - Examine popular board games to give you some starters & ideas. - Is each space worth an amount? - What action happens when you land on each space? - What kinds of game pieces will each player have? - Will you have special game cards that tell players what to do? - Can players steal, gain, or lose something if they land on a certain space? - Be creative and show learning about cells can really be cool & fun! - Can earn a bonus (+5) if the class votes your game best of show!

PLANT CELL _____ Cell Membrane _____ Cell Wall _____ Chloroplast _____ Cytoplasm _____ Mitochondria _____ Nucleus _____ Nucleolus _____ Golgi Complex (body) _____ Endoplasmic Reticulum _____ Large & Small Vacuoles _____ Nuclear Membrane _____ Ribosomes

ANIMAL CELL _____ Cell Membrane _____ Cytoplasm _____ Mitochondria _____ Nucleus _____ Nucleolus _____ Golgi Complex (body) _____ Endoplasmic Reticulum _____ Medium & Small Vacuoles _____ Nuclear Membrane _____ Ribosomes _____ Lysosomes
