Quarter One Project -- Build
a Cell!!
|
You are challenged to build a plant or animal cell model using your
creativity and imagination. This is
to be a 3-D project using whatever different objects you like to represent each
part of the cell listed below. The
challenge is to find objects that look like the parts they are to represent so
that your finished project is recognizable as a cell, and parts are recognizable
as the parts of the cell. You will
supply a key for the model (do NOT make your key larger than 15" x 18"...you
need to plan ahead), and describe the function of each part.
For example, the nucleus should be built with a "nuclear
envelope" around something representing the nucleolus (dense area) and
chromatin (thread-like) so the nucleus looks like it has all three parts. Pores in the nuclear envelope need to be represented in some
manner. Think through the structure
and function of the cell parts to come up with ideas. Parents are great resources, and will have suggestions and
material ideas. I will
"brainstorm" with you AFTER SCHOOL if you get stuck.
If we do a good job, we will display these models for everyone to admire.
If it is edible, we will be sure to eat
it!
