1. Ms. Dennis 7th grade Life Science Cell Model Project

2. Your cell must be a 3D model!!!!
It cannot be a picture on a flat poster board surface!
Must have sides, top, and bottom.
Model should be small enough to fit in a shoebox!

3. WHAT NOT TO DO!

4. Your cell model MUST have a key!
You can label the cell parts with numbers that match with the key
You can label the cell parts with the names
Your key must include the function of each cell organelle

6. What to use?
You CAN use any common household item to make your cell model
Ex: Styrofoam, playdough, cardboard, wood, paper, string, button, pipe cleaner, beads, yarn.
BE CREATIVE! YOU DON’T HAVE TO SPEND $$$$
You CANNOT use anything that is edible or will spoil! NO FOOD!
Ex: jello, fruit, vegetable, pizza, cake, etc.

7. WHAT NOT TO DO!

8. WHAT TO DO!

9. Make sure you label your cell!
Put your name and your class on the project
Identify which cell your model is.
Jane Doe, Animal Cell, 7B

10. Be sure to label all the organelles
Plant Cell (12 cell organelles)
Cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplast, cytoplasm, mitochondria, nucleus, golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), vacuole, chromosomes, ribosomes, lysosomes
Animal Cell (10 cell organelles)
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, nucleus, golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), vacuole, chromosomes, ribosomes, lysosomes
