Cell City Project

For this project, you will create a plant OR animal cell


represented by something we are all familiar with. For
example, an airport, our classroom, a theme park, your
home (anything that you like). If any of those were a
plant or animal cell, what part would each represent as
our organelles within the cell?! Visit my website for more
examples at mrsw5thrcs.weebly.com.
Be careful using the Internet! The cells shown on the
Internet tend to show many more organelles and to
use terms that you don’t need to learn yet. You’ll end
up confused and putting the wrong things on your
project. Here are the basic requirements for your
project:
• You can use many types of materials including
but not limited to: yarn, fun foam, buttons,
beans, macaroni, mini-marshmallows, markers,
color pencils, etc. (Don’t use gelatin, as it tends
to break down too quickly and makes a mess.)
USE YOUR IMAGINATION!!
• Glue materials securely - Hot glue works much
better
• Make sure you have a title on your project –
Plant Cell or Animal Cell
• Each student will have to explain his or her
project. You will need to mention the parts of
the cell, what they do, and the differences
between the plant and animal cell. Think of
clever ways to remember the parts and what
they do.
Cell Project Checklist
As you work on your project, check off the parts so
you’ll know that you did everything you needed to do.
Projects will be due December 18th!
