“RECYCLED CELL MODEL ACTIVITY”
Mr. Cyrus T. Esguerra, LPT
Course Instructor
 Performance Task #1:

Recycled Cell Model Activity

Task Description:
• Create three-dimensional models of a plant cell,
animal cell, and bacterial cell using recycled
materials.
• This activity aims to enhance students'
understanding of cell structures and functions
while promoting creativity and sustainability
through the use of recycled materials.

 Performance Task #1:

Recycled Cell Model Activity

Instructions:
1. Research and Planning
• Familiarize yourself with the structures of plant cells,
animal cells, and bacterial cells using reference materials.
• Plan the design of your three-dimensional models,
considering the unique features of each cell type.
• Make a list of recycled materials you could use for each
organelle or cell structure.
2. Material Collection
• Collect recycled materials based on your planned design.
• Ensure that the materials are clean, safe, and appropriate
for the construction of your cell models.

 Performance Task #1:

Recycled Cell Model Activity

Instructions:
3. Construction
• Start building your cell models using the recycled
materials and adhesive tools (glue, tape).
• Refer to your research and plan to accurately represent
the organelles and structures of each cell type.
• Pay attention to details such as size, shape, and
placement of organelles within the cell.

4. Decoration and Labeling

• Decorate your cell models using markers, paint, or any
other decorative materials.
• Label each organelle or structure with its name. Ensure
the labels are clear and easy to read.
• Use creativity to enhance the visual appeal of your
models.

 Performance Task #1:

Recycled Cell Model Activity

Instructions:
5. Presentation:
• Prepare a brief presentation explaining your cell models.
• Address the guide questions provided in the rubrics during your
presentation.
• Be ready to discuss the significance of your material choices and
the educational value of your models.

6. Submission and Evaluation

• Submit your completed cell models.
• Models will be evaluated based on creativity, accuracy, neatness,
presentation, and the use of recycled materials according to the
rubrics provided.
