Paramecium 3-D Model Making Kit

Show the complexity of a single-cell with Paramecium model!

Your students will love learning all about the protist Paramecium with our colorful and and engaging model!

Paramecium are complex single celled organisms that live in ponds that predate bacteria and smaller unicellular organisms. They are covered in cilia for movement and use a mouth-like oral groove to catch their prey, breaking it down and expelling the waste.

The model covers all the main parts of these cells: cilia, oral groove, contractile vacuole, cell membrane (pellicle), meganucleus, micronucleus, mitochondria, rough ER and Golgi.

Students assemble their Paramecium model using the colorful parts working alone or in small groups. 

The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
