Cell Model Project
Check out the links on the left for details of two typical animal cells and one typical plant cell.
CELL MODEL
Due date Tuesday November 10th
Based on pages 68-69 of your science book (as well as others in CH. 3) plus pictures on my website, you are required to make a MODEL of either a plant cell or an animal cell. The model must not be larger than your science book.
Each structure of the cell must be shown and in the correct position.
Organelles Required:
Animal Cell: nucleus, nucleolus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, chromosome, lysosomes, mitochondria, vacuoles, cell membrane, nuclear membrane, and Golgi complex.
Plant Cell: nucleus, nucleolus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, chromosome, lysosomes, mitochondria, vacuoles, cell membrane, nuclear membrane, cell wall, chloroplast, and Golgi complex.
Note: Every part of the cell must be labeled or a key must be attached.
Models may NOT be made of food. Foam balls, clay, fabric, paper mache and any other safe materials are suggested.
I have read the requirements for this project and I understand that this is to be brought to class on the assigned date.
