3-D Cell Project -Rubric

Name: ________________________________________ #:_______
Date:___________
In the "Cell Unit" we learned about the different parts of animal and plant cells. We have
discussed the function and purpose of each part of the cell. For this project, you will create a 3dimensional model of a cell to show all the different parts of a cell. You may choose between an animal
cell OR plant cell. All parts of the cell must be labeled and spelled correctly. You do not have to
purchase any materials to complete this project. Be creative! Use what you can find at home.
