Cells are the smallest structural and functional units of an organism. Cells contain organelles which each have a different job. Cell organelles work together to help the cell work. Cells and their organelles are microscopic so they are not visible without a microscope… unless we build a 3-D model!
You will become an expert on the structure and function of one cell organelle. You will research and build a prototype of a cell organelle.
You will have to analyse 2-D electron micrographs so that you can represent organelles in 3-D.
This is called an orthographic drawing.
An orthographic drawing is a method that allows someone to represent a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional piece of paper. By drawing the object for a various angles, the artist is able to show how the object looks in the real world. The process is called orthographic projection.
After you have built a prototype of your organelle and had it marked for your assessment, we will work together with the Design and Technology classes, teachers and the Theatre Props experts to construct a 3-D hanging model of cell.
This cell will have organelles that move and light up and could even have cellular sounds to accompany it.
You will build an InfoGraphic as a poster to accompany your cell organelle.
This model and accompanying InfoGraphic will be used to help improve the understanding of cells and how they work.
First you have to become experts in the Science of cell organelles.

Assessment Task 4: Research Investigation assignment.
Build a physical prototype of a chosen cell organelle. The display organelle will be constructed in the Design and Technology classes. The organelles will be hung together to represent a cell.

Criteria for the Cell Organelle Prototype
1. The cell organelle must be:
- a 3-D model
- scaled relative to the other organelles and therefore the cell model.
- show the internal structure of the organelle.
Animal Cell "Composites"
These are examples of idealised models; showing most of the specialised organelles in the one cell. Why are some of the organelles cut open?
Plant Cell "Composites"
These are examples of idealised models; showing most of the specialised organelles in the one cell. Do all plant cells include chloroplasts?

After your Tasks 3 and 4 have been submitted and marked...
When the Posters and 3D model prototypes are complete you will form design teams for the ‘authentic commercial’ build of the cell. Each team conducts a critical analysis of their individual designs in order to develop a team submission ready for further prototyping.
At this stage your designs will be presented to Mr Rowberry and the Theatre Arts specialists for scrutiny.
They will work out the ‘how’ to assemble and display the 3-D cell model.
A Scope of Works will then be written up and sent back to the science teams for further analysis.
I would like to see our Engineering Design Brief used at the Design Team stage as it’s specifically written for this phase of the Design Process.
