A Project about Cells
Introduction
Your task is to make either a 3-D model of a cell with an information
booklet to go with it. You need to think about the cell you are going to
model. It could be a plant cell, an animal cell, or a specialised cell.

you make your
model
e.g A cell found in the nose
You can make your model out of whatever you want and can be any size.
Your booklet should have as much of the information in the level
ladder below as possible. Your model and booklet will be levelled and
displayed in your classroom.

You have plenty of time to complete your project, but there’s a lot to do!
You should break your work load up as follows:
1st week: Decide which cell you are going to make, and start to collect
materials to help you build it. You may want to draw out a plan of how you
will make it to help you.
2nd week: Build your cell. Try and make it as accurate as possible.
Remember you also need to label it.
3rd week: Finish making your cell, and start thinking about what will go
into your booklet. Remember to look at the level ladder above to help. You
may also want to discuss your ideas with your teacher to get some
feedback.
4th and 5th weeks: Finish your written information booklet. Make sure
you’ve written as much detail as you can, and checked through your work
for errors. If you have used any books or websites you should list these
at the end.
Good luck!
