Models of Cells

1. Models of Cells Science You Can Eat Ms. Tina’s Fourth Grade Class

2. This is the cell wall. It surrounds everything in a plant cell.

3. This is a cell wall with the cell membrane. The cell membraneis just inside the cell wall (in a plant cell.)

4. This looks like an animal cell because it is a strange shape.

5. This is a cell with the cytoplast. Underneath the cytoplast, there is a nucleus, vacuoles, and maybe some chloroplasts.

6. This is a finished cell model – with a few bites out of it!

7. This is a finished cell model – you can see its vacuoles (one has been eaten.)

8. This is a fourth grader enjoying her cell model! Yummy!

9. Things we learned from our cell models • The crust was the cell wall because it surrounded all of the parts. • The sauce was the cell membrane because it was between the cell wall and everything else. • We only put one black olive on our pizza because each cell only has one nucleus. We had to have a nucleus whether we wanted it or not!

10. Things we learned from our cell models • We put three pepperonis on our pizza because cells have more than one vacuole. • We could not put green peppers on our pizza if it was an animal cell. • Everyone got cheese (and lots of it!) because the cytoplasm surrounds everything in the cell.
