Equipment

  • Construction Paper
  • The Mega Deals Elmers Glue Sticks
  • Caydo 200 PCS Pipe Cleaners Craft Supplies Multi-Color

Ingredients

  • Cardboard
  • Construction Papers Light Green, Light Blue, Light Yellow, Green, Red, Yellow, and Pink
  • Fuzzy Wires
  • Marker Black or Purple
  • Glue Stick
  • Glue
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Get the cardboard and cut it into a rectangular shape. Once done, attach the light-yellow construction paper (the same size as the cardboard) that will act as the cell wall.
  • To make the cell membrane, add light green paper above it and it should be slightly smaller than the cell wall but has the same shape.
  • Next, let’s make the central vacuole. Cut it like the shape in the photo and paste it above the light green paper.
  • Time to add the brain of the cell, the nucleus. Make it using pink and red construction paper just as shown in the final product.
  • For the Golgi vesicles and Golgi apparatus, you'll need yellow construction paper. Some will be shaped in circles and some in the shape of bananas.
  • Create an oblong shape with yellow paper and use the marker and outline the outside. Make the mitochondrion using fuzzy wires. Form it into a zigzag shape then use the yellow oblong as its background.
  • For the chloroplast, use green paper and cut it into thin rectangular figures. Same as step 6, use the yellow paper as a base and outline it using the marker.
  • The next part to make will be the endoplasmic reticulum. The small fuzzy wires would be cut into small sized and attached to the board around the nucleus.
  • For the last step, put dots or circles around the plant cell using purple and black markers.
