How Do You Build A Model Of An Animal Cell For A Science Project?
Learning about cells can be tricky because you cannot see a cell with the naked eye. Kinesthetic activities like building a model of a cell bring what you can not see into your view. The process may take some time, but if you incorporate educational dialogue with your artistic expression, you’ll have all the structures memorized by the end of the project. Remember form begets function in biology. As you mold the clay, think about the function of each structure. Use different colors for each structure to make them easy to identify. Use the resources below to learn about animal cells and their structures. Print out one of the images to use as a guide. Find a jar with a lid. This will represent the cell itself. The glass walls serve as the cell wall. Although not porous like a real cell wall, the glass will let you see all of the cell’s components. Form the Golgi apparatus (macromolecule packaging), mitochondria (energy production), and the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (lipid, h
