Cell Construction Zone
Cell Construction Zone
You will construct a model of a plant or an animal cell. All models must be made out of materials that will not spoil or fall apart easily. This model must be made at home and transported to school (make sure it can get to school safely). Use the questions in the grading section to help you develop a good project. This can be worth 5 test points!!!
Each model must include all of the following organelles:
* Each organelle must be labeled with it’s name and it’s function.
1. Cell Wall (if plant cell)
2. Cell Membrane
3. Ribosomes
4. Nucleus
5. Nucleolus
6. Nuclear Membrane
7. Vacuoles
8. Mitochondria
9. Cytoplasm
10. Endoplasmic Reticulum
11. Lysosomes (if animal cell)
12. Chloroplasts (if plant cell)
Scoring Guides: Total possible score = 30 points
| Points possible |
| Your Score |
|
| All organelles are included and properly labeled. The type of cell is identified. All writing is neat and there are no spelling errors! |
|
| 1 point | All the functions of the organelles are correct and neatly written on the labels. |
|
|
| The relationships between the parts (if any) are shown correctly. For example, are some of the ribosomes on or near the E.R.? |
|
| 1 point | The materials are acceptable. The Cell is stable and is not falling apart. |
|
| 1 point | All of the organelles look like real organelles. |

| This image of the storm system that generated the F-4 tornado in Moore, Oklahoma was taken by NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard one of the Earth Observing System (EOS) satellites. The image was captured on May 20, 2013, at 19:40 UTC (2:40 p.m. CDT) as the tornado began its deadly swath. Image Credit: NASA/Goddard/Jeff Schmaltz/MODIS Land Rapid Response Team... | ||
