Cell Model Project - Weebly



Project Guidelines: Due Date:_______________

1) You may work individually OR with 1 partner

2) You must create a 3–dimensional model of eukaryotic cell (plant or animal). Be creative! Ideas may include but are not limited to making/using:

- diorama

- styrofoam

- pillow

- play-doh / moldable foam

- mobile

- pop up book

- costume

- any other materials you find around your house (you do NOT have to spend money to build an effective model)

- NO food components please!

3) Your cell must include at least 10 cell organelles. If you choose a plant cell, your model must include a large central vacuole, chloroplasts, and a cell wall. If you choose an animal cell, your model must include centrioles.

4) Each organelle must be distinguished from one another via use of labeling tags, a color code, legend key, etc.

5) Your model will be displayed in class for your peers to view and evaluate and will be graded by your teacher on the following components:

- 10 organelles properly represented (2 pts/organelle)---------------- 20 points

structurally and/or functionally with written justification (see chart on back)

- 3-D quality -----------------------------------------------------------------------------3 points

- Effort/Creativity------------------------------------------------------------------------2 points

- Written Reflection---------------------------------------------------------------------5 points

Total = 30 points

3-D Cell Model: Organelle Explanations

Directions: Explain the type of modeling used for all 10 organelles. Explain how your model accurately represents the structure and/or function of organelles in a living cell. Be specific and use your own words. Complete the chart below. This will determine how many organelle points your project receives.

3-D Cell Model: Written Reflection

Directions: Write an original reflection using complete sentences and organized paragraphs that addresses each of the following questions. Answer 1-3 at home, #4 & 5 can only be done in class.

1. What is your favorite aspect of your project? Why?

2. If you had to do the project over, what would you do differently/the same? Why?

3. Tell me about your planning process. What steps did you take to complete the project? What other ideas did you consider and why did you opt for your choice instead?

4. How many / which kind of tokens did you receive from your classmates during our gallery walk? How do you feel about that? Why do you think you received the ones you did or none at all?

5. Tell me about something specific that you liked about another person’s model after observing it in class today. Why do you feel that way?
