♫ Model cells, model cells. It's project time in the city♫ (schools)

A completed project.  Photograph from MrScott.org.

The Green Learners will be constructing a three-dimensional model of a plant OR animal cell.  This project will be due January 7th, 2016.  All models must be made out of materials that will not spoil.  The project must be labeled.  Learners may label each organelle or create a key.  Use the questions in the grading section to help develop a good project.  









Each model must include the following organelles:

• Cell Wall (if plant cell)*
• Cell Membrane*
• Nucleus*
• Cytoplasm*
• Vacuoles*
• Chloroplasts (if plant cell)*
• Mitochondria*
• Lysosomes (if animal cell)
• Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Golgi Bodies
• Ribosomes

You will be tested on organelles marked with an asterisk ( * ) at the end of the unit.  Be sure your know their form and function!

Grading:Grades will be based on the following questions:

• Has the project been turned in on time? (January 7th, 2016)
• Is the project identified as a plant or animal cell?
• Is the model a 3-D representation?
• Are all the organelles included?  (10 for plant cells, 9 for animal cells)
• Are the organelles correctly labeled?  Each organelle MUST be labeled with its name and function either on the model or on the key.
• Is everything in its correct place?
• Are the materials acceptable?  The materials cannot be food products that will spoil.
• Did the student use different materials to represent each organelle?
• Is the model equal to or less than 30 centimeters on any side?
