EDIBLE CELL PROJECT
Task: Construct an edible model of either a plant or an animal cell, plan the ingredients for your creation, and present your model to the class.
Guidelines: Be sure to include all cell structures listed below. Use frosting, candies, pasta, beans, fruit, etc. to represent each part; make it look as
realistic as possible (and tasty too). Your edible cell should be a single serving size; please keep it smaller than 15cm x
15cm Use disposable pans/plates or cardboard covered with foil. This project is worth 40 points and will be graded for accuracy, completeness,
creativity, and neatness. Please see the rubric on the back.
