CONTRACT PROJECT - MODEL OF A CELL
NGSS: MS-LS1-2
•
You may work alone, with a partner, or in a group. Note: The group may not exceed 4 people
including yourself. If you choose to work with others, they may be from other blocks. Choose
people that you are able to get together with.
•
OBJECTIVES:
•
For a C, you must represent the following parts of a cell and create a key. (See page 61 or 63.)
1) To create a 3-D model of a plant or animal cell.
2) Complete the cell model requirements for a contract grade of a C, B, or A.
ANIMAL
cell membrane
vacuole
cytoplasm
mitochondria
nucleus
golgi body
ribosomes
nuclear envelope
endoplasmic reticulum
PLANT
cell membrane
vacuole
cytoplasm
mitochondria
nucleus
golgi body
ribosomes
nuclear envelope
chloroplasts
cell wall
endoplasmic reticulum
•
For a B, you must complete level C and state/list the function of each cell part.
•
For an A, you must complete level C and record a descriptive narrative, or dialogue of a voyage
through the cell. In the narrative/dialogue you must somehow state the function of the cell part.
You may also choose to describe its appearance or tell any interesting facts about it. Use your
imagination! You may use: video, tape recorder, PowerPoint etc….
**
ALL PROJECTS MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING 4 ITEMS:
1) Title: Be sure to title your model "Plant Cell" or "Animal Cell".
2) Key: The key must be labeled with the word "Key" and be accurate.
3) Name Tag: Your model must be accompanied with the name(s), block #, and personal
science # of each person who worked on it.
example: Jane Doe, Period 3/4
4) One Cell Model Grading Sheet must be completed with name(s), & period # of the
student(s) who worked on the project. The contract grade you are working for must also be
circled. This form must then somehow be attached to your project, so that grading can be
completed.

Possible materials: clay, wood, shoe box, plaster of paris, styrofoam, paper mache', household
items - such as buttons, screws, cotton balls, pipe cleaners, yarn, candy, cereal, etc....
(BE CREATIVE!!!)
NOTE: If you use food, be careful!!! Food tends to smell, colors run, and it falls apart. If you
use this medium your project may get a lower grade.
