1 Cell Model Project Modeling Cell Structure You will plan to make a model of an animal cell using household items. You are not actually making the model. You are creating a plan that would show how you would make it- like an architect would create the plan for making a building. Guidelines: Your diagram must be hypothetically 3-dimensional, as was shown in class. This means it would need to have height, width and depth. Your plan must be colored, neat and creative. Cell Parts Required as Representations and labeled (with arrow): o cell membrane o vacuole o cytoplasm o mitochondrion o nucleus o DNA/chromosomes The cell part representations must be similar to the real cell parts in their structure and For example, the nucleus is round in shape and controls cell activities. The nucleus representation should be spherical and should represent a control center. Make a key that identifies each cell-part representation. Analysis and Reflection (to be answered on a separate sheet of paper): 1. Describe the structure and function of each cell part included in your diagram. *this should be like a glossary 2. For each cell part, describe why you chose the item as a representation. *How does the item represent the cell part in terms of structure AND function? 3. What were the easiest and most challenging parts in creating your plan? Which cell part was most challenging to model? Why? Which cell part was easiest to model? Why?

2 Representations Key Creativity Structure & Function Most required cell parts are Several required cell parts are represented in structure and represented in structure and All required cell parts are represented in structure and All cell structures are neatly and correctly identified on a key with the name of each cell part and representation. All of the graphics used in the model reflect an exceptional degree of student creativity in their creation and display. function of all cell parts. One cell part is missing/ incorrect. Most of the graphics used in the model reflect student creativity in their creation and display. function of most cell parts. Two cell parts are missing/ incorrect. The key is not neatly presented. Several of the graphics used in the model reflect student creativity in their creation and/or display. function of several cell parts. Few required cell parts are represented in structure and Three or more cell parts are missing/incorrect. Graphics used in the model reflect little student creativity in their creation and display. function of few cell parts. Rationale Analysis Reflection all cell part representations in terms of structure and Thoroughly identifies and explains easiest and most challenging parts of creating most cell part representations in terms of structure and Identifies and explains easiest and most challenging parts of creating the cell model plan. several cell part representations in terms of structure and Identifies easiest and most challenging parts of creating Explanation is general. few cell part representations in terms of structure and Identifies easiest or most challenging part of creating Explanation is general. A cell membrane is neatly presented and labeled (with arrow) on the model and key. Structure and function of a cell membrane is thoroughly described. The rationale for the cell membrane representation is clear in terms of structure and Cytoplasm is neatly presented and labeled (with arrow) on the model and key. Structure and function of cytoplasm is thoroughly described. The rationale for the cytoplasm representation is clear in terms of structure and A nucleus is neatly presented and labeled (with arrow) on the model and key. Structure and function of a nucleus is thoroughly described. The rationale for the nucleus representation is clear in terms of structure and A vacuole is neatly presented and labeled (with arrow) on the model and key. Structure and function of a vacuole is thoroughly described. The rationale for the vacuole representation is clear in terms of structure and A mitochondrion is neatly presented and labeled (with arrow) on the model and key. Structure and function of a mitochondrion is thoroughly described. The rationale for the mitochondrion representation is clear in terms of structure and DNA/chromosome is neatly presented and labeled (with arrow) on the model and key. Structure and function of a DNA/chromosomes are thoroughly described. The rationale for the DNA/chromosome representation is clear in terms of structure and Easiest and most challenging parts are thoroughly explained with detail. Self Peer

3 Name: Sketch and label your model plan in the space below: Create a key that identifies what each cell part is represented by: Key cell membrane: cytoplasm: nucleus: vacuole: mitochondrion: DNA/chromosome:

4 Analysis and Reflection: 1. Describe the structure and function of each cell part: a. The cell membrane appears b. The cytoplasm appears c. The nucleus appears d. The vacuole appears e. The mitochondrion appears f. DNA/chromosomes appear

5 2. For each cell part, describe why you chose the item as a representation in terms of STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: a. I used to represent the cell membrane because b. I used to represent the cytoplasm because c. I used to represent the nucleus because d. I used to represent the vacuole because e. I used to represent the mitochondrion because e. I used to represent the DNA/chromosomes because 3. What were the easiest and most challenging parts in creating your plan? -The most challenging cell part to model -The easiest cell part to model
