This resource could be used with both GCSE and A-Level biology students. The worksheets included in this resource provide a step-by-step method to construct a model prokaryotic (bacterial) cell using simple resources such as coloured wool, small coloured elastic bands ('loom' bands are ideal), plasticine, sellotape and a plastic freezer bag. The worksheets include a full list of instructional prompts to build the model, each with a key question to check understanding. The worksheets also include an extension page which deals with processes such as scale and binary fission.

This is an engaging activity and a great way to turn a very theoretical subject into a practical experience for students.
