whats a good way to make a model of a cell w/out using a styrofom ball??

Answer 1

An easy solution would be to use Playdough! (or other claylike materials). It's easy to form into various shapes and stick together into a model. And it is colorful without needing any extra painting. You can easily add labels on toothpicks or a color key to describe the different parts.
