I have to make a model of a plant cell and I want to make it creative. thinking out of the box.?

Question

Please help me think of creative ways to show the 3-D model. Like instead of clay or plasticine. My teacher said someone made it out of candy. Any ideas.Please give me all suggestions.Thanks in advance! This is for grade 8 but even if its comflicated, please tell me ideas . its also with a partner but we both siad we'd try to think of some ideas. Thanks again in advance!

I love the cake idea but My teacher said that she ogin to display it in a glass thing. So , It needs to be able to live.Lol :P. Extra marks for creativity. Please give me some ideas. Thansk again!

Cool Ideas! But the thing is that noone of these can stay because its goign to be in a glass case for about 1 month. Any creative ideas.Please give me some dieas. Thanks for all thsoe so far!

Answer 2

If you want to do something easy, use jello. It's cheap, transparent and would allow you to place other objects inside of it. If you use clay or even colored playdough you can pretty much represent whatever you want inside.

Other foods like noodles (or other pasta shapes) can be boiled and colored with food color to represent difference structures. There are tons of different pasta shapes and they are cheap.

It might take a couple tries to work out the best way of placing things, but you can always heat the jello up to melt it enough to easily recover your items and try again.

If it was my project, after it was done and set the way I liked it, I would take it out of the mold (which could be just about anything) and leave it uncovered on a plate in the fridge for a few days. This will provide a lot of surface area and it will start to dry out a little. (ever eat stale jello? You will know what I'm talking about). Once it starts to harden a little bit it will make it tougher and it should stand up to the rigors of being a science project pretty easily.

The best thing about it is that if you layer it (meaning make your inner cell first, then later set that in a larger bowl of different colored jello) - you can cut a slice or a third of it off to give you a "cutaway view" of your cell to show the different layers like the cell wall membrane, etc.

Good luck! I hope this helps. You might be the first jello science project in the world. :) If you have any questions let me know.

Answer 3

Well you could make it out of styrofoam or clay. Something in that range would be pretty creative. Also I did this before and I got and A+ and its yummy. Haha. Make it out of cake. (i made mine out of a cookie cake) Well yah thats all I have. Sorry if it didnt hel. Good Luck I hope you get an A++++!

Answer 4

do it in jello
i did an animal cell like that once
it's very simple and creative



pd.
just do a package of jello and stick all the parts inside of it
then just do what u always do to make jello

Answer 5

I had to do one of these back in middle school, the way we did it was out of clear gelatine like clear jello, and we used all sorts of food for the different structures in the cell, placed them in the right spots and chilled it, where everything sits in place..........we used noodles, peas, etc for the structures

Answer 6

sorry hon but there's no creative way to do science. i'm in 8th grade too and we're doing plant cells, also. have fun but honestly, get an A and sleep. it's all the same

Answer 7

candy bad idea.
you should make it out of recycled materials!:D

or school supplies.also you can make it out of cd covers.

ah.i'm out of ideasxD
