You are given a project to display different parts of cell organelles (as a 3D model) for your term assessment along with the explanation about chromosomes.

To make a cell: Take a round yellow plastic ball (about the size of a tennis ball). Cut it into equal halves. In one half (lower part) of the ball, add transparent gel-like material (e.g., sanitiser, hair gel). Make colourful organelles having shapes similar to those found in a cell. Use thermocole or small plastic sheets to make organelles. Make sure you make all the important organelles: Golgi body, Mitochondria, Endoplasmic reticulum, Vacuoles, Nucleus, Lysosome (one each). They should all float.

To make nucleus: Take a TT ball and cut it into half. Fill the lower half also with a gel-like substance. Add small springs (you can use the ones you have in your ball pens). Close the ball with the upper part of the half. Add a few drops of fevicol on the edges. Now float it inside the yellow plastic ball along with the other organelles. Your cell is ready.

Now, prepare your speech and explain each organelle as you display them.
