You are given a task to make a 3 – D model of a cell using available recyclable materials
found in your home. However, you want to plan your work before doing this. So, you will
make a sketch of your plan on a short bond paper.
Here are your guidelines:
1. You may choose to make a plant / animal / bacterial cell.
2. All parts of your cell must be labeled clearly.
3. Functions of each organelle should be provided.
4. Eight (8) or more than organelles should be included.

Let’s Analyze
Compare and contrast plant, animal, and bacterial
cells using your answers on the table above. Write
your answers in the Venn diagram on your answer
sheet.

Day 4: 3 – D Cell Model

Let’s Create
Goal
Your goal is to construct a 3 - D model of a plant / animal / bacterial cell using recyclable
materials guided by the sketch you made.
Role
You are an artist.
Audience
You will present your chosen 3 – D model to your school’s Biology faculty.
Situation
As an artist, you are given a task to make a 3 – D cell model using available recyclable
materials that are found in your home in one (1) week with the help of your parents or
guardians. Here are your guidelines:
1. You may choose to make a plant / animal / bacterial cell.
2. All parts of your cell must be labeled clearly. Suggestion: use toothpicks and
pieces of paper to make little flags.
3. Functions of each organelle should be provided. Suggestion: use the back side
of your label “flags” to write down the job of that organelle.
4. Eight (8) or more than eight organelles should be included.
Performance
A 3 – D model of a plant / animal / bacterial cell
