Make An Animal Cell Model Download Step 1

Now just so you know you can put different things on the 3 parts of the inside of the cell.

This is my instructable on Animal Cell, and how to make one I chose to do the animal cell because I have done a plant cell, so I wanted to try something new.

The goal of this project is to understand, how an animal cell works and looks.

Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 1: Get All the Materials So what I have used for this Animal cell is A foam ball and it should be a medium, that larger it is the better.

Can find at Walmart, Target, A.C.

Moore. For different parts of the cell, use: A battery for the mitochondria, because it is the powerhouse of the cell.

Some kind of pasta, shells or spaghetti, for the cytoskeleton You can use slime, or another sticky substance, for the cytoplasm Clay can also be used for the nucleus and other numerous parts of the cell, found at A.C.

Moore, Target, Walmart, etc.

Fabric(regular) Glittered fabric chalk Other materials needed, to put all this together: Gue Scissors Tape knife(only if needed) Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 2: Cut the Foam Ball Now to make your cell you will have to see the inside of it So you will have to cut the foam ball, this will take: A foam ball (dah) Scissors Knife(if needed) So to be able to make this right, you should cut 14 of the ball, if it is not that big, but cut 23 of the ball if it is larger.

Try to cut this on a nice hard surface, but it could get messy, so try to be as clean as possible Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 3: Making the Cytoplasm So now that you have the cells inside, so now you take the cell, and it is time to make the cytoplasm.

Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 4: Now for the Nucleus So the Nucleus is like the parent of the cell.

The picture is of the clay that I bought, but you can also use other kinds can work.

I just poked holes in the clay with a different colored marker.

Then cut a hole in the sphere, and make sure the nucleus fits inside of it.

Just quickly place it on, you should put it very close to the nucleus.

Now as I said use the pasta, whatever you have, for the cytoskeleton.

The pasta is there because it is very hard to break before it is cooked.

So the cell will start to get a lot heavier, so maybe put a heavy material thing, behind it.

I chose to have chalk because it has a little dot in it and is a sphere.

Just a tip, it is a little messy so try to be over another surface.

Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 8: The Smooth ER, and the Golgi Apparatus The Smooth ER is fabric, just like the Rough ER.

The only thing that is different is that this fabric should not have any glitter.

It can be a different color like I did, but try to stay the same.
