Question about animal cell model project?

Question

Using fake pumpkin and cut into it and placed a strofoam ball in it. I want to use the pumpkin to be creative but dont know what it could be because the large strofoam ball is the cell itself it is where all the organells are going onto. PLEASE HELP!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Answer 1

Oh I like that idea. But I agree it does sound hard. What if, instead, you said the pumpkin was the cell membrane, and cut the styrofoam ball in half and said it was the cytosol? Then you could embed things in the new flat side of the styrofoam for organelles...like a tennis ball for a nucleus, some drinking straws for centrioles, maybe lentils for ribosomes, and lentils glued to yarn for rough endoplasmic reticulum? Gee, I wish they let us make these models at my job!

Answer 2

i had this exact project =)
A lot of people cut a Styrofoam ball in half and used different objects as the organelles. Some used a disk shaped piece of styrofoam. One girl used different colored felt type stuff. One kid used Jello in a fish bowl and used different objects for the organelles. Some made pop up posters. Others actually made cakes and used candy as the organelles. hope that helped a little!

Answer 3

golly that sounds hard to do. You could make a flat one dimension model using rubber bands, macaroni and beads for the different parts. I admire the pumpkin idea, I just don't know how to do it.
