Structure and Function of Cells (LS1.A.2)

Ziyah is making a model of a living plant cell. The following objects are available to her for her model: a cloth bag, a wire cage, a solar panel, a battery with wires, and a mini bottle of water. Ziyah wants to represent the function of different plant cell parts by using objects that have functions similar to the cell’s parts.
