3-D Plant & Animal Cell Models
This lesson takes place in a classroom for 3 hours, where students will work in small groups of 2-3. to design and create 3-dimensional models of either a plant cell or an animal cell. This lesson emphasizes the virtual and physical model of cells, including all organelles as a physical prototype, and 3-dimensional CAD design.

Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
Students are put into groups of 3 or 4. As a group they create an animal cell model and then create a slide show naming and describing the organelles of an animal cell.
