Ok so I have to build a 3-D model of an animal cell. No edible substances. Have any ideas of what I can use and how to build it? Some things people are using are styrofoam, clay, etc. I need something creative and failry easy, as it's due in three days.
I have to include:
Cell Membrane
Nucleus
Nucleolus
Cytoplasm
Chromosomes (Chromatin)
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Ribosome
Mitochondria
Lysosome
Vacuole
Golgi Body
Ideas? Links? Anything? I seriously need help. I've got nothing on this.
Don't forget the DNA! I got an A- on my animal cell, I would've gotten an A+ if I had just marked and represented the DNA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, go out and get a Styrofoam ball, cut half of it, or 1/4 of it off and display the things on them. I just used play dough to represent everything (except for the cytoplasm and cell membrane) Just get stuff lying around the house, packing peanuts(the kind in the mail) , pipe cleaners, straws, anything works. For the nucleus, I placed play dough in the center of the model, then i placed a marble in the center of the nucleus to show the nucleolus. for the cytoplasm, just place some clear wrap on the INSIDE part of the model, and put the cytoplasm on before you put on anything els!! I just glued some tissue paper to my model to show the cytoplasm.. The ER(endoplasmic reticulum) is a little more tricky. Remember that there are TWO TYPES of ER, smooth ER and Rough ER. for the Rough ER just take a piece of pipe cleaner and bend it about 3 or 4 times, and stick it on your model (make sure the Rough ER is connected to the nucleus) now remember that the smooth ER has ribosomes on it. So for the smooth ER, pretty much do the same as the the rough ER, but put some glitter on it or something to represent the ribosomes. Now for the ribosomes, just glue a red button or two on to your model. For lysosomes, just glue a different colored button on to your model. Take a different colored pipe cleaner, and fold it in the same fashion you folded your ER to represent the Golgi Complex(but this time, don't connect it to the nucleus.) For Mitochondria, you could use a packing peanut(make note that packing peanuts ARE NOT food) if you can't seem to find anything, then just shape some play dough into Mitochondria. I just used some play dough to and shaped it into a vacuole to represent the Vacuole. I don't know if u have to do the nuclear membrane, but we certainly did. For the nuclear membrane, I just outlined the nucleus with black play dough. I know you didn't mention cytoskeleton, but I'll tell u anyway, you could use a green rubber band or clip a short piece of a green pipe cleaner. The cell membrane is sort of like the the cytoplasm, but this time you place the wrap on the OUTER part of the model. I'd recommend using a different type of material than you did for the cytoplasm.And make sure you put DNA, just cut up a rubber band and glue it onto the nucleus. Don't forget to label all the parts, I wrote the labels on pieces of paper, cut them out, taped them onto a toothpick, then put them where they belonged on the model. Here's a good picture of a cell model: http://peacethought.com/images/cyto.jpg another good site is www.cellsalive.com click on cell models on the left side of the page, then click on animal cell: http://cellsalive.com/cells/cell_model.h...use pipe cleaners, pom-pom balls and other artsy things.I hope this works,

All the best!
I can't find any other...
You can use rubber tubes and other stuff around your house.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
