CONIC SECTIONS: 3D MODEL OF PLANT AND ANIMAL CELL

(Pre-Calculus Performance Task I)

MAIN GOAL:
Students are expected to incorporate and identify conics that are found in their own 3D model
of either a plant or an animal cell.

OBJECTIVES:
This performance task will allow students to:
1. Formulate standard equations and general equations of the conics based on their 3D model.
2. Express their creativity and innovation by using recyclable materials and other forms of art to
show a 3D model of a cell, not limited to creating an edible cell, crocheting or sewing, paper
mache, or 3D drawing.

Note: Styrofoam and clay are discouraged as they are non-biodegradable and will cost more than using
materials that are already available at your home.

PROCEDURE:
1. This is a group work.
2. The documentation/computation of the standard and general equations of each conic must be
typewritten on short bond paper only.
3. Every group must submit their output on the 3rd week of October (October 16 – Monday;
October 20 – Friday)

GRADING:
Students’ grade for this activity will fall under the performance task, which is 45% of their quarter
grade. Students will be evaluated based on the following rubrics:
Excellent Good Fair Poor Incomplete
(10 points) (8 points) (6 points) (3 points) (1 point)

Note: The parts of the cell to be exhibited do not necessarily need to be perfectly shaped, like the
conics.

For the Documentation:

The following parameters must be clearly shown or marked or atleast measurable in the model for the
checking of the standard and general equations:
 Center and the radius of the circle
 Center and the axes of an ellipse
 Vertex, focus and Latus rectum of a parabola
 Vertices, axes, foci and Latus rectum of a hyperbola
