Cell Project
Due Date: September 1, 2011
Cell Project
You will be required to construct a 3-D model of a plant or animal cell. Your project must be labeled or
have a key. The key or labels must list each organelle and it function.
Your cell should include the following organelles:
Cell wall (plant only)
Ribosomes
Cell membrane
Mitochondria
Lysosomes (animal only)
Cytoplasm
Chloroplasts (plant only)
Smooth ER
Rough ER
Nucleus
Golgi Bodies
Vacuoles
Materials:
You may choose to make your cell out of edible materials (jello, cake, brownies, candy, fruit, etc.) or
non-edible materials (clay, play dough, plaster, Styrofoam, pipe cleaners, etc.). The model must be
three dimensional to receive full credit. Partial credit will be given for projects that are only 2D, such
as drawn on poster board. Points will be deducted for leaving edible cells for the teacher to clean up! If
any student feels that they will be unable to purchase materials for the project please see me before the
due date. I will be more than happy to provide materials.
Partners:
Students may work by themselves or as a group; groups should not exceed two people. Those that
choose to work with a partner will be required to fill out an evaluation sheet. The evaluation sheet will
allow each member of the group to grade each member’s contributions to the project. The evaluation
will be taken into consideration during the grading process. You must notify the teacher and your
partner if you decide to change and work alone or with someone else, one week before the due date. No
exceptions!

will be thrown out and the remaining scores averaged. The average score will determine the
student’s/team’s grade. The chart below will be used to evaluate the project.
