CELL MODEL PROJECT

Name:_______________________________ Hour:_______ Due Date: ____________________________

You must turn in this paper with your project!

Points: 100 points

Turning in a model does not guarantee full points. I give full credit for models that are carefully done, with lots of thought and effort put in and that meet all the requirements. A model turned in without this paper will not receive credit.

Objective: To create a 3-D model of a cell.

Procedure: You may choose to make either a plant cell or an animal cell.

To make your model of a cell, you will need to decide what items you will use to represent at least 10 cell organelles. Refer to diagrams in your notes and text for shapes and examples. You may use anything you would like for this model. Fill in the boxes on the backside of this paper to indicate what you used for each cell part. You must complete and TURN IN this paper with your cell model. Be prepared to present the model in front of the class and explain why you used the things you did. On your model, you must identify the cell parts (one suggestion is to use triangles of paper glued to toothpicks). Typing the labels is worth 10 extra credit points. If you turn your project in late, no extra credit points will be given.

Organelles: Organelles are tiny organs inside the cell that do jobs to help it function. You are required to represent at least 10 organelles on your cell model. The organelles that you create in your model must reflect their true nature as found in the cell. In other words, the organelles need to look similar to what they do in real life. The organelles that you are required to use in your project are listed on the back of this page.

Examples: Use your imagination! Here are some examples but it would be great if you came up with one of your own.

--Jell-O cell: Mix up some Jell-O (light colors work best) and put it in a clear container. When the Jell-O becomes thick, place your organelles in it. WARNING! Some candies dissolve in Jell-O and the whole thing becomes a goopy mess! For the Jell-O cell, use less liquid than called for.

–Poster Board cell: Take a look around the house for things you can glue onto a poster board.

–Styrofoam cell: Buy a styrofoam ball and cut it in half. Paint the organelles onto the ball or use modeling clay to represent the organelles.

–Salt Dough cell: Make a batch of salt dough and use food coloring and some imagination. Modeling clay works well.
