3D - 2

I have an assignment to do on making a 3D model of a plant cell and still don't know what materials to use?

I would be making the on a cardboard but I still don't know which materials to use for the vacuole,cell membrane and cell wall and house stuffs would be of great use like gel for cytoplasm and ping pong ball for the nucleus .

1. We just did this. We made a cake. A big peppermint patty for the nucleus, we had licorice ropes for the ER, and sprinkles all over the licorice for the ribosomes. You could do M&M's for the Vacuoles, jelly beans for the Mitochondria, etc, etc. Lots of candy shapes to put on for every organelle you need.
2. I did this a few years ago. I took a shoe box and painted it green. Then I made all the organelles out of different colours of playdoh that I bought in the dollar store. And then used tooth picks to stick labels on the organelles.
3. Some cell parts - not all may apply to a plant cell: cell wall - shoe box cellmembrane = balloon cytoplasm = jello nuleolus = cherry inside of a chocolate covered cherry mitochondria = pinto bean flagella - string chromatin - curly ribbon centriole - wooden dowel that connects two pieces of wood nucleis = chocolate covered cherry, the earth, a golf ball cytoskeleton - toothpicks golgi body - stack of buttons lysosome - rock ribosome - pea endoplasmic recticulum - wire that goes back and forth nuclear membrame - netting, balloon vacuole - a bigger rock, bigger than the lysosome. Hopefully a few of those will help you.
