ASSIGNMENT

Identify and label the key features/organelles of cells from plants, animals, and bacteria.
Classify cells as prokaryotic or eukaryotic and compare and contrast features of each.
Summarize the key functions of cell organelles.

Create Cell Models
Create an animal cell, a plant cell, and a bacterial cell using household items to represent the different organelles present in each type of cell.Suggested Materials (you can come up with your own as well):
Sheets of paper
Plastic Eggs
Pipe Cleaners
Kidney Beans
Beads
Aluminum Foil
Miscellaneous Household Items – get creative – you can use paperclips, hair ribbons, coins, pine
cones, buttons, etc.

PROCEDURES
1. Draw a plasma membrane on a sheet of paper (one sheet for each cell). Make it large enough
to hold all the organelles.
2. Use your textbook as a reference to make sure you include all the organelles/structures.
Make sure the correct organelles go into the proper cell.
3. Label them as a “Plant Cell”, an “Animal Cell”, and a “Bacterial Cell”.
4. Add items that represent the “organelles/structures” to the cells. For example:
 Construct the rough endoplasmic reticulum by stringing beads onto two of the pipe
cleaners
 Pipe cleaners (with no beads) will represent the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
 Construct a cell wall using the aluminum foil into a square shape (around the edge of
the plasma membrane).
5. Include a legend identifying the household item that represents each specific
organelle/structure. Do not use arrows or lines to point out the names of the structures,
you need to include an actual legend.
