CELL MODEL RUBRIC
Below Basic (1)
Does not complete key for
cellular structures showing a
lack of effort or understanding
Model does not show all
organelles or there are 5 or
more errors
Model shows a lack of effort
and demonstrates work quickly
done with poor appearance
Basic (2)
Completes key for cellular
structures with 3 or more errors
Model has all organelles from
picture represented in the correct
size and numbers with 3-4 or more
errors
Model shows a average attention to
detail and shows an average effort
not as neatly done
Proficient (3)
Accurately completes key for
cellular structures
with 1 or 2 errors
Model has all organelles from
picture represented in the
correct size and numbers with
1-2 errors
Model shows attention to detail
and shows a good effort with
work neatly done
Advanced (4)
Accurately completes key for
cellular structures
with 0 errors
Model has all organelles from
picture in the correct size and
numbers; added extra structures
for PLANT cell or ANIMAL
cell
Model shows attention to detail
and demonstrates excellent
effort, and creativity
Material Guidelines






To hold your cell use boxes; plastic bags; clear plastic containers, Styrofoam balls (NO GLASS).
Dry foods such as seeds, beans, nuts, pasta (NO SUGARS/FOODS THAT SPOIL).
Small items such as beads, pipe cleaners, straw, buttons, batteries, thread, ribbons, shoestrings, yarn, elastic.
Materials such as sponges, clay, fabric, cardboard, newspaper.
(NO LIQUIDS OR GELS that can make a leaky mess).
Use your creativity and imagination. HAVE FUN!
