Description
🌿 3D Printed Plant Cell Model – A Living Factory in Your Hands
This enlarged, tactile model of a plant cell turns microscopic complexity into a hands-on learning experience. Ideal for classrooms, science fairs, or museum displays, it showcases the unique organelles that make plant cells powerhouses of life and growth.
🔍 Key Structures Included:
- Cell wall and plasma membrane for structure and selective transport
- Chloroplasts for photosynthesis (with visible thylakoid stacks)
- Large central vacuole for storage and turgor pressure
- Nucleus, nucleolus, and chromatin for genetic control
- Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes for energy and protein processing
- Optional add-ons: plasmodesmata, amyloplasts, or chromoplasts for advanced plant biology
🎓 Educational Applications:
- Comparing plant vs. animal cells
- Teaching photosynthesis, cell structure, and organelle functions
- Interactive activities like “Build-a-Cell” or “Organelle Match”
