Students work with whole plant material and are not required to measure small quantities, yet they can see evidence of transformed plant cells (plant cells that have genes from bacterial plasmids). This is a laboratory suitable for students who are familiar with the basic principles of plant cell structure, tissue culture, sterile technique, and cell transformation (bacterial infection, plasmid vectors, marker genes, selection medium, and enzyme activity assays).

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 »
