A Model Cell - Design Cycle Criterion C: Creating the Solution
Name:
Task: You will be creating a 3-D model of EITHER a plant or animal cell.
Process: You will go through the steps of the design cycle to investigate, design,
plan, create, and evaluate your cell model. The models will be created IN
CLASS out of materials you bring in from home.
Requirements: Your project will be graded using MYP Design Criterion C
(Creating the Solution) and must include the following:
 3-D model with 8 LABELED organelles with realistic appearances and
sizes
 Completed packet
 Self-assessment using attached rubric
Resources: The websites listed below have examples of 3-D cell models to use
for inspiration. The pictures below show examples of finished models.
