DIY Plant Cell Model Project

The student was tasked with designing and creating a toy model of a cell using available materials at home for a performance task in biology class, and created a prototype of a plant cell using toys, craft materials, and recyclables to represent the various organelles and structures, such as using a ping pong ball for the nucleus and modeling mitochondria and chloroplasts out of clay. The student documented the materials used and the procedures to assemble the cell model with the plastic container representing the cell membrane and wall and name tags identifying each organelle.

Performance Task: You are tasked to design and create a toy model of the “cell”.
You are a toy maker working for a company that specializes in creating educational toys and 3D-
models. You will create a prototype of the toy using DIY (Do it yourself). Your prototype will be
evaluated according to accuracy of the design in terms of appearance of parts, creativity, and
resourcefulness.

What I made is a prototype of a


plant cell using the available toys
and recyclable materials I could
find at home. The materials used in
the project are as follows:
 Plate, bacon and pickle
slices toys
 Angry Birds small
miniatures
 Yarn
 Colored paper
 Ping pong ball
 Clay
 Rectangular plastic
container
 Sticky notes
 Double-sided tape
Procedures:

In creating my 3D toy model, I started by using the double-sided tape to stick the ping pong ball
which serves as the nucleus to the center of the plate toy wherein it represents the nucleolus. After that,
I molded the clays into mitochondrion which has the color combination of pink and red, as well as
chloroplast with the color green and light green. Consequently, I cut a string of blue yarn for my rough
endoplasmic reticulum, violet yarn for my smooth ER, as well as I cut out a sky blue colored paper to be
my vacuole. Moving on to the toys I also found at home, I used the pickle slices to represent the
ribosomes, the green little pigs from angry birds as amylosplast, the bacon as the representation of golgi
body, and also the yellow angry bird as my centrosome. After finishing my preparations, I finally put
them all together at the rectangular plastic container in which the outer part represents as the cell wall,
while the inner serves as the cell membrane. Additionally, the representation of cytoplasm would be
where the organelles and cellular inclusions are found, that is why, it is on the ground part of the
container. Shortly after that, I placed all the representations of all the parts of the plant cell in their
respective positions and created name stags using sticky notes for them to be identified.
