3-D Model of a Cell Project
You will be required to construct a 3-D model of a plant OR animal cell. 3-D means that
your model must show length, width, and depth.
 Each model must include all of the following organelles:
 Cell wall (if plant cell)
 Ribosomes
 Cell membrane
 Mitochondria
 Nucleus
 Vacuoles
 Cytoplasm
 Lysosomes (if animal cell)
 Endoplasmic reticulum
 Chloroplasts (if plant cell)
 Golgi Bodies
 Each organelle must be labeled and its function described. Your labels should be
brief and to the point!
Example of a label:
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell
