3-D Cell Model Project
Purpose: The purpose of this project is to make a 3-D model of a cell in order to better understand the parts and workings of a cell.
Procedure:
1. Using household items make a three-dimensional model of a plant OR animal cell that meets the criteria listed below.
o (Sample items: cereal, balloons, gummy worms, mints, fruit slices, dried fruit, matches, gum balls, peanuts, licorice, jelly beans, sesame seeds, other candy, toothpicks. Craft materials may also work: clay, beads, pipe cleaners, etc.)
2. LABEL the type of cell somewhere on your model.
3. Create a KEY or label each part (in some way) on your model. (Turn over for an organelle list. à)
4. Briefly DESCRIBE each part’s FUNCTION (job). (This can be done on your model or on a separate sheet.)
5. Make sure your name and class period are on your model (and any separate sheets).
6. Turn this sheet in with your model.
3-D Cell Model Project RubricCategory / Scoring Criteria / Excellent
(3 pts) / Satisfactory
(2 pts) / Needs Improvement
(1 pt) / Not done
(0 pts)
Cell / Overall shape corresponds to the type of cell: plant or animal
Appropriate materials are used (items looks like the cell part it is representing)
Accurate description of the function of each cell part is provided (on model or on separate sheet/key)
Type of cell is found on the:
· Model
· key (if separate)
Key, legend, or labeling easy to use to identify the parts on your model
General / student name & class period are found on the:
· model
· key (if separate)
Craftsmanship / Model cell is creative and shows effort
The model is 3 dimensional
Model stays together, is not too messy or cumbersome to move around
