Mr.
V’s 3-D Cell Model
You will create a 3-D model of a plant or animal cell (your choice) using common materials. You will label the structures on the model with numbers, providing a typewritten key to identify the labels. Also on the key you should specify the function of each organelle.
Example:
Number Organelle Function
1 Nucleus Control center of the cell. Stores DNA. 2 Ribosomes Puts together proteins ORGANELLES THAT MUST BE IN YOUR CELL MODEL: cell membrane vacuole mitochondria ribosomes golgi apparatus peroxisomes nucleus smooth ER nuclear cytoplasm rough ER membrane nucleolus
Animal cells only: Centrioles, lysosomes (very rare in plant
cells).
Plant cells only: Cell wall, chloroplasts.
The cell can be no smaller than 4" x 6", and no larger
than 9" x 12". The cell must be 3-D. Therefore, it can not be a poster or only puffy paint. Do not use any type of food products with the exception of maybe dry pasta. Your models will be on display…I don’t want any giant killer Hilmar ants all up in my classroom. Use clear drying glue. Avoid tape, pins and staples. Ideas for materials include: yarn, beads, toothpicks, pipe cleaners, string, straws, Styrofoam, Plexiglas, food, play- doh... Use many types and your imagination, but be sure it will stay together! You must identify all the organelles listed above for whichever cell you choose. The type of cell, your name and period must be identified somehow on the model and the key. DO NOT label the organelles on the model, use ID numbers. The key will identify which organelle is represented by each ID number.
