3D Cell Model Project
Your project must have:
I)
II)
2-3 Dimensional MODEL
KEY to the cell parts
I) MODEL – Make a 3 dimensional model of a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell. SHOW all parts
listed (see below) and label all parts. You can choose who to work with in your table group.
You will briefly present your model to the class.
Use common household and/or recyclable materials such as Styrofoam, cardboard (shoe
boxes are great for plant cells), wood, paper, macaroni or other dry noodles, dry cereal, string,
buttons, pipe cleaners, beads, yarn, etc. Be creative, you don’t need to spend money to make
the cell model.
Some Guidelines:
Do not use JELLO, edible fruit or vegetable, or anything that will spoil (go bad) or spill.
Number all parts of your cell.
Make sure parts and numbers are securely attached to your model.
Cell model must be 3-D (has length, width, and depth), it cannot be flat like a poster.
Do not use pins or anything sharp.
PUT YOUR NAME & BLOCK ON MODEL!!
Identify your cell as plant or animal using a LABEL.
Parts to include:
NUMBER AND/OR LABEL THESE PARTS ON YOUR MODEL

II. KEY- 1 page paper, TYPED, Type of Cell Made, Name and Block. Include 3 columns:
Column 1: Number of Each
Part on your Cell Model
Example: #1
Column 2: Name of each Part Column 3: Short statement of
on your Cell Model
the function of each part in
your own words
Cell Membrane
Lipid barrier that controls
what goes into and out of the
cell.
