Students construct a model of the cell membrane. The model includes a minimum of one functional part modeling the membrane transport process. Students model semi permeability by using water, iodine, a plastic sandwich bag, and liquid starch. Students discuss the results of the experiments. Full Review »

Students create three dimensional cell models. They may choose to make either a plant or animal cell but must use a ziploc bag as the cell membrane, slime for the cytoplasm, and a strawberry baskets for the cell wall if making a plant cell. They may choose what they wish to represent all the other organelles of the cell and must include a key. Project is completed by mathematically comparing the size of the cell they created to an actual cell. Full Review »
