What is a cell model project?
Cells – Cell Model Project for the Middle Grades is a simple 6 page product that includes resources you can use to have your students complete a 3D model of both a plant and an animal cell.
How do you teach students about cells?
Give kids unlabeled pictures of plant and animal cells for them to label and color. While they work, ask what differences they notice between the cells. For very young kids, you can give them labeled pictures for them to color while you go over the names and functions of the cell parts.
What materials do you need to make a 3D animal cell?
Materials used: A foam ball, acrylic paint, yarn, construction paper, tacky glue, a small piece of felt, sequins,toothpicks and fabric scraps. 3D Animal cell model.
What candy can I use to make a plant cell?
Ribosomes are located in the endoplasmic reticulum and the cytoplasm. Proteins can be used by the cell or transported out of the cell. Round cake sprinkles, chocolate chips and other round candies like M&Ms scattered around the cytoplasm nicely depict ribosomes.
What candy can represent a nucleus?
| Cell Component | Suggested “Building Material” |
|---|---|
| Mitochondria | 4 hot tamale candies |
| Vacuoles | 4 chocolate covered raisins |
| Plant Cell central vacuole | 1 large white marshmallow |
| Nucleus | 1 pink gumball |

What material is a plant cell wall made of?
The cell wall is composed of a network of cellulose microfibrils and cross-linking glycans embedded in a highly cross-linked matrix of pectin polysaccharides. In secondary cell walls, lignin may be deposited.
What is the importance of cells in our lives?
Cells provide structure and function for all living things, from microorganisms to humans. Scientists consider them the smallest form of life. Cells house the biological machinery that makes the proteins, chemicals, and signals responsible for everything that happens inside our bodies.
