Cell Model Checklist
Use any interesting materials you may have around your house that
are good representations of the cell organelles. For example, plastic
wrap may represent the cell membrane which surrounds the cell, or a
small AAA battery may represent a mitochondria which produces
energy for the cell.
Some potentially useful household items include:
buttons
aluminum foil
bowls
shoe boxes
old tupperware
plastic wrap
paper clips
yarn
beads
nuts and bolts
tissue paper
seeds/beans
balls
waxed paper
old toys
string
washers
candy
1. Did you choose to represent one of the cell types below in a 3-D
model?
epithelial
white blood
plant leaf
kidney
liver
muscle
nerve
red blood
bone
2. Does your model include all the appropriate cell structures?
cell membrane
vacuoles
nucleus
ribosomes
mitochondria
chloroplasts (plant cells only)
golgi bodies
cell wall (plant cells only)
endoplasmic reticulum
lysosomes
cytoplasm
3. Does your model fit the size requirement- larger than the palm of
your hand and no larger than one square foot?
Yes
No
4. Do you have a key or labels for your model?
Yes
No
Does the key include all the cell parts and a picture of what you used
for the structure?
Yes
No
5. Do you have a written description of your cell type and its function?
Yes
No
6. Is your name and period on your model and key?
Yes
No
