The Making of the Incredible Edible Cell:
Using edible materials build a model of a plant or animal cell. Choose food that accurately represents the
structure of each organelle- for example shape and size (scale) is similar to the real organelles.
Fill in the chart as your answer key. (Cell part, Function, Analogy)
Please bring the cell project on/in a disposable container that you do not need returned.
All models must be made out of edible materials that will remain fresh without refrigeration
***See examples on website***
Each project must include:

Name, Date, and Class (5 points)

The cell type (plant or animal) is clearly labeled. (5 Points)

All major organelles correctly labeled with the correct structure. (use of toothpicks or flags permitted) (20 Points)

Good description of the function of the each organelle (30 points possible)
o
To be answered verbally during presentation and handed in on your answer key.
o
You will be asked three questions worth 10 points each. You will lose points if you are given “help” or
you need to use your answer key

Give an analogy for all the organelles you are presenting. ( 20 points possible)
o
To be answered verbally during presentation and handed in on your answer key.
o
You must choose something to compare to the cell (school, building, city, etc). The “object” you
compare the cell to must remain constant.

You can use any materials as long as they are edible (remember you have to eat it)

The more creative the better!!!
Each student will need a picture (which can be emailed to me [email protected])
or a drawing (exact copy). No pictures on cell phones will be accepted.
Each model must include ALL of the following organelles:
Cell Membrane
Nulcleus
Ribosomes
Smooth ER
Vesicles
Lysosome
Endocytosis (example)
Cytoplasm
Nucleolus
Nuclear Envelope
Rough ER
Mitochondria
Chloroplasts (plant)
Exocytosis (example)
Cytoskeleton
DNA
Nuclear Pores
Golgi Bodies
Vacuole
Cell Wall (plant only)
Grading is based upon the requirements above. Please read carefully!!
This is an individual project.
I will be making a(n) _______________cell.
PROJECT DUE DATE:
I have read and understand the requirements of the cell project.
