Creating a 2-layer amoeba model using cardboard and color paper can be an enjoyable and educational way to understand the basic structure of an amoeba.

Let’s build a simple 3D model representing the two main layers of an amoeba.

Materials needed:

1. Cardboard (for the base and layers)
2. Color paper (for representing the different layers and details)
3. Scissors
4. Glue or double-sided tape
5. Marker pens or sketch pens

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Base:
   • Cut a rectangular or square piece of cardboard to serve as the base for the amoeba model.
2. First Layer (Cell Membrane):
   • Draw the shape of the amoeba on color paper. The amoeba typically has a rounded, irregular shape.
   • Cut out the shape to represent the first layer of the amoeba, which is the cell membrane.
3. Second Layer (Cytoplasm):
   • Draw a slightly smaller shape of the amoeba on color paper, following the same rounded, irregular pattern.
   • Cut out this shape to represent the second layer of the amoeba, which is the cytoplasm.
4. Layer Arrangement:
   • Glue the first layer (cell membrane) onto the base, covering most of the area.
   • Place the second layer (cytoplasm) on top of the first layer, aligning them properly.
5. Nucleus:
   • Draw a small circle or oval on color paper to represent the nucleus of the amoeba.
   • Cut out the nucleus and place it within the cytoplasm layer.
6. Labeling and Details:
   • Use marker pens or sketch pens to label the different layers (cell membrane and cytoplasm) and indicate the location of the nucleus.
7. Decorating the Model:
   • Use markers or color paper to decorate the amoeba model and add more details to make it visually appealing.

Now, you have a simple 2-layer amoeba model made from cardboard and color paper. This model can be a helpful visual aid to learn about the basic structure of an amoeba, which consists of a cell membrane and cytoplasm, housing the nucleus. It’s an interactive and creative way to explore the anatomy of an amoeba and understand its simple yet fascinating structure as a single-celled organism.
