Plant Cell Puzzle

prusaprinters

<p>This is a set of models for a 3D printable plant cell puzzle. You can have fun printing all the different pieces in different colors. I did this from filament samples I got from different companies.</p> <p>Students can see how the different organelles fit into the cell. This is a eukaryotes plant cell, but you can also model animal cells and prokaryotic by adding or removing pieces.</p> <p>If you would like a lesson plan, please go to <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/TinkerCAD-Plant-Cell-Puzzle-4368818">https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/TinkerCAD-Plant-Cell-Puzzle-4368818</a> to purchase it.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: animal cell, plant cell, science education</p> <h3>Category: Biology Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> LulzBot</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> Mini 2</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.2-0.3</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> no</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> any any multiple or white<br/> <strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>you can print all in white and color with a sharpie marker or dry erase maker. If you print in nylon you can use fabric dye. You can also print the separate pieces. I got a bag of color filament samples for 3d pens, and ran them through a batch at a time to print in multiple colors.</p> <h3> Post-Printing</h3> <p>Use Emory board or sanding block to sand off any rough edges.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>This is a TinkerCAD hack. You can also challenge your students to make their own model. You can also use the opportunity to explain what a scientific model is, and how biologist got to the current plant cell model. If you have your students explore the cells under a optic microscope, they likely will not see many of these parts.</p> <h3> Standards</h3> <h3> <a href="/search?sort=popular&amp;type=things&amp;is_edu_approved=1&amp;standards=3"> NGSS </a> Overview and Background</h3> <p><strong>3D printing cell parts</strong></p> <p>For this I printed at 0.3 mm resolution with filament samples from various companies. Print the base file in 2 colors for contrast, and the chlorplast file green.</p> <h3> Lesson Plan and Activity</h3> <p><strong>Lesson plan</strong></p> <p>The lesson plans and handout will be for sale on Teacher Pay Teacher.<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/TinkerCAD-Plant-Cell-Puzzle-4368818">https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/TinkerCAD-Plant-Cell-Puzzle-4368818</a></p> <h3> Materials Needed</h3> <p><strong>Printing materials</strong></p> <p>This can be printed with any filament. If you only have white, you can print them all in white and color them with a permanent marker or dry erase marker. to model a prokaryotic cell, leave out the nucleus piece and use string.</p> <h3> Skills Learned</h3> <ul> <li>Cell </li> <li>plant cell</li> <li>animal cell</li> <li><p>biology</p> <h3>Duration of Lesson</h3> <p>4 + hrs</p> <h3>Preparation</h3> <p>3D print the parts to show how to model them. Students can use your ideas to design their own in TinkerCAD.</p> <h3>Rubric and Assessment</h3> <p>You can use the handout on teacher pay teacher, or assess their designs with a rubric.</p> </li> </ul>
