Construct a Cell Model

Students must create a drawing of an animal cell that accurately represents the parts that help the cell function. Students will use one full page in their lab notebook to draw and label an animal eukaryote cell. On the next page in their notebook they will write a description of each cell component (organelles) and include one interesting fact (i.e. the symbiosis theory of mitochondria). Students may use colored pencils.

Plant and Animal Cell Model
	Beginning 1 pts	Developing 2 pts	Proficient 3 pts	Advanced 4 pts
Cell Structure	Beginning Inaccurate representation. Not all cell parts are represented and/or are not a representaion of its part.	Developing Representation of cell not fully accurate. Not all cell parts are represented or are not clearly represented.	Proficient Mostly accurate representation of cell . Cell parts are clear and all represented.	Advanced Highly accurate representation of cell. Cell parts are very clearly and accurately represented.
Labeling	Beginning No key or numerous errors in cell part labeling.	Developing Missing labels or more than two spelling errors in the key of cell parts.	Proficient All parts are labeled appropriately with no more than two spelling errors in key of cell parts.	Advanced All parts are labeled accurately with correct spellings in key of cell parts.
Organelles	Beginning Most (6 or more) organelles were left out of the model or have size/appearance issues.	Developing 4-5 organelles were left out of the model or have size/appearance issues.	Proficient 1-3 organelles were left out of the model or have size/appearance issues.	Advanced All organelles are present, and correct in size appearance.
Neatness	Beginning Very messy. Numerous smudges on project. No Title.	Developing Somewhat neat. Some effort in appearance. Title present, not centered.	Proficient Neatly constructed. Attractive, with little room for improvement. Title present, same size as rest of text	Advanced Extremely neatly constructred. Attractive. Title larger than rest of text and centered.
Organelle drawn and colored.	Beginning Organelle drawn is not representative of the true organelle. .	Developing Organelle drawn is representative of the true organelle but not colored.	Proficient Organelle drawn is representative of the true organelle and is colored.	Advanced Organelle drawn is an excellent representative and colored entirely.
