3-D Cell Model Due 10th October, 2006
You will create a 3-D model of a plant or animal cell (your
choice) using common materials. You will label the structures
on the model with numbers. Along with the cell you will
provide a typed page that lists a key to identify the labels. Also
on this page you will identify the function of the structure or
organelle and why you have chosen the material to represent
the organelle.
Requirements and Limits:




The cell can be no smaller than 10 cm x 20 cm, and no larger than
20 cm x 30 cm.
The cell must be 3-D. Therefore, it can not be a poster or only puffy
paint.
The model can be delivered in a box (e.g. shoe box, shirt box, etc.).
Use clear drying glue. Avoid tape, pins and staples. Ideas for
materials include: yarn, beads, toothpicks, pipe cleaners, string,
straws, Styrofoam, Plexiglas, food, play-doh... Use many types and
your imagination, but be sure it will stay together!
You must identify all the organelles listed below for whichever cell
you choose.
The type of cell, your name and class must be identified somehow on
the model and on the typed report.
DO NOT label the organelles on the model, use ID numbers. The
key will identify which organelle is represented by each ID number.
Organelles to be Included in Both Cells:
1. cell membrane membrane cellulaire
2. nucleus noyau
3. nucleolus nucléole
4. cytoplasm cytoplasme
5. vacuole
6. endoplasmic reticulum réticulum endoplasmique
7. ribosomes
8. golgi apparatus appareil de golgi
9. mitochondrion mitochondie
Organelles to be Included in Plant Cells ONLY:
10. cell wall paroi cellulaire
11. chloroplast chloroplaste
***REMEMBER: Plant and Animal Cells have different shapes, and this
should be reflected in your model.
There are approximately 5 other organelles you could add for extra points.
See if you can find out what they are from your notes, tests or research.
Do your best, and it will be reflected in your grade! Bonne chance.
