How Do You Make A Model Of An Animal Cell?
Whether your child needs a science project for school or you just want to teach your kids about biology, building an animal cell model is an educational activity that will serve both purposes. With just a few materials that can be gathered from around the home, an animal cell model can be created in only a couple of hours. Different parts of the animal cell, called organelles, include the nucleus and nucleolus, centrosome, microtubules, lysosomes, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, vacuoles, secretory vesicles, peroxisomes, rough and smooth reticulum, microfilaments and the cell membrane. Getting Started Step 1 Place the plastic bowl over the cardboard sheet and trace around it with the pencil. Step 2 Cut around the lines. This will be the gluing base of the cell model. Step 3 Paint the circular cardboard piece pink and let it dry. The pink paint represents cytosol, a liquid composed of water and metabolic proteins where the organelles float.
