3-D Cell Model Per. _____
Cell model plus legend must be kept to 6”X6”X6” in size. 10% off for larger. No candy may be used, only dry products like pastas and beans. Organelle sizes need to be approximately proportionate. Two Points are given for correctly labeled location and structure. Two Points are given for listing the function of the organelles. Models should be made of inexpensive materials and a maximum of $5. Recycling is encouraged.

Suggested Process
Check off the line or write in the date you finish each one.
______Decide what you will use as the base for the cell.
Cardboard; styrofoam; CD case; clay or play dough; Legos; Tupperware?
______Find objects for each structure which are similar in shape and size.
(Remember this is a representation).
______Think and plan for how you will make a legend.
Will you number the structures?
Will you have a picture of the structures?
Will you use toothpicks and flags?
Will you use your own system?
______Reread the requirements for the Project.
Do you have all the required structures? Will this fit in a 6” X 6” X 6” space?
Do you KNOW all their functions? This is NOT a description of where they are or what they look like! This what do they DO. What is their purpose? Why is this structure critical to making the cell stay alive? There is a power point on the Homework page. We went over this in class and you have the sheet of notes. You do not need to do internet research. In fact, the details on the internet may only confuse you. Keep this simple.
Use what I have given you.
______Before gluing, plan where you will put things. Check if they are correct.
______Is your name, number and Period on the cell model AND this grade sheet?
______Bring the project with attached grade sheet in by Tuesday February 17th.
Yes it may come in earlier!
You can do this. Just go one step at a time.
