Plant Cell Model - Small

A plant cell in cut-section on a wooden base, with the cell wall, chloroplasts and large central vacuole moulded clearly — the natural companion to the animal cell model.

How it works

1. Begin with the cell wall and cell membrane
2. Locate the chloroplasts and central vacuole
3. Find the nucleus and other organelles

What students learn

• Identify the organelles of a plant cell
• Explain the role of chloroplasts and the cell wall
• Compare plant cells with animal cells

Try these experiments

1. Label the organelles on the model
2. List three features found only in plant cells
3. Compare with an onion peel temporary mount under the microscope
