Go to this site, it will give you all the information you could possibly want on this Jovian Planet. Pictures, details, cut-aways.

Then go buy some styrofoam balls and construction paper and have a good time doing it. Neat project!
Have fun!

Go to your local library or book store with a pen and paper.
Get the book: ASTRONOMY by Mark A. Garlick. It is published by Firefly Books. Turn to pages 96 to 101. There you will see full color pictures of Jupiter, its size relationship to Earth, its color bands, Distance from the Sun (min and max), and some descriptions of its rings. Jupiter has several moons. Those are discussed there also. Copy down as much information as possible and draw out on your paper as much as you possibly can from those pictures.
On the Internet, go to Space dot com. Look at information on Jupiter that you will find there.
Again, on the Internet, do a search using the key words:
Curious About Astronomy
That will take you to a site constructed by Cornell University.
On that site you will find all of your questions about Jupiter answered and hundreds of photos that will make you silly with delight.
If you need to make some kind of presentation at school, try looking in stores for a big plastic ball (the size of a basket ball) and a marble. Paint the big plastic ball the same colors that you see in the photos of Jupiter. Paint the marble blue, green, and white. The marble is Earth. That is about as close as you will get to models of Jupiter unless you want to get super fancy.
Super fancy means painting the bands of color around jupiter as close as possible to those shown in the pictures. Then label the bands with the names of the bands and don't forget the Great Red Spot feature.
Make illustrations of the cross section of Jupiter showing its atmosphere, its outer mantle, its inner mantle, and its core. You can do this using poster board, water colors, and typed information labels that give the diameter of Jupiter, surface temperature, core temperature, and type of gases found there.
