Animal Cell Project


Cell Project:
The students will receive this information on Wednesday, and I have also been talking about it all week. I made an example for the kids, but I was hesitant, because I feel like I am limiting their creativity by showing them what mine looks like. So, be as creative as possible!!

This project is having the kids apply the functions of the cell to an everyday object. I chose to compare it to Pine Creek. For starters in the top left corner I said that the cell membrane was the walls, ceilings, and floor of Pine Creek, because both provide support and let good things in such as oxygen in the cell, and students for the school.
Below the "cell membrane" is the kitchen. This would be the ribosomes because this is where the proteins are made.

Are you kind of catching on now?

Basically the poster should include:
A Cell diagram
Pictures/drawings/Internet pictures of your comparison
A Title including the word "vs"
and the comparisons, either as a report pasted on, or an explanation next to each item.
Arrows pointing to the given object directed to the part of cell its being compared too.

That about sums it up! The project is worth 25 points. It will be due September 5th and their Science test over Chapter 1 is on the 7th.

If you have any questions, please email me.
