Make reviewing plant cells fun with this engaging hands-on 3D diorama science craft project! Students learn about plant cells and then decorate a shoe box based on what they learned! Students are responsible for decorating the box and putting a creative scene inside that represents an plant cell. Students love it when they get to do projects and make their learning come to life!

Here’s what you’ll get:

• pre-colored pages for a quick cut and prep
• black and white pages for students to color their own background and pieces
• rubric for easy grading
• research page for students to record their learning
• planning page for students to map out how they want their diorama to look

What is a diorama?

A diorama is a three-dimensional scene built to illustrate a topic. Dioramas are small scenes created with layers of materials. A diorama can be made out of a shoe box or similar box that includes a variety of information and pictures about a topic.

Students create a diorama by cutting, coloring, painting, and gluing pieces inside the box to create a model that shows a situation, such as a historical event or animals in their natural environment. Students can be encouraged to add real features such as grass, sand, sticks, etc.

The dioramas do not come with specific assembly instructions. Students should learn about the plant cell first, and use the pieces within this resource to creatively build their own unique diorama! This is a fun way for students to learn and get hands-on with the lesson/topic.

Prep is quick and easy... print the pieces on cardstock for durability and let your students explore the water as an enrichment activity to your lesson plan.
