Build a Three-Dimensional Cell
In class, we have been studying cells and their organelles. We have looked at the shape
and function of the different organelles and which cells contain each type of organelle.
We are focusing on the differences between plant and animal cells. Your job is to build a
model of either a plant or animal cell. In class, you will construct a paper model of either
a plant or animal cell. Your three-dimensional model will be the opposite of your paper
model. (For example: If your paper model was an animal cell, your 3D model will need
to be of a plant cell.)

Wednesday, October 3, 2007
REQUIREMENTS:
3D Cell Model with all the appropriate organelles
Key that describes what object represents each organelle
Name and Period on model and key
TOTAL POINTS:
100 points (a test grade)
Breakdown of points:
50 points correct organelles for your cell
20 points for key
10 points for neatness
10 points for creativity

Use Jell-O as the cytoplasm. Before it has completely gelled,
place various candies in Jell-O for organelles.
Take an empty shoebox. Glue or hang various household items
to represent the organelles.
Use poster board and glue macaroni, beans, and other dried
food in the shapes of organelles.
Make a cake. Use icing for cytoplasm and various candies for
organelles. We can eat your cell during class. MUST SIGN UP
WITH ME BY MONDAY, OCTOBER 1st.
Use clay or Play-Doh in various colors for the organelles.
Other examples can be found on the Internet.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION!!!
ANIMAL CELL ORGANELLES: cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, ribosomes,
endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi complex, vesicles, and lysosomes.
PLANT CELL ORGANELLES: cell membrane, cytoplasm, cell wall, nucleus,
ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi complex, vesicles,
vacuole, and lysosomes.
