Cell Proj

The document provides instructions for a cell project that asks students to choose from three options to reinforce their learning about cell structure and function. The options are: 1) creating a cell analogy collage comparing cell structures to everyday objects, 2) building a 3D model of a plant or animal cell, or 3) designing a t-shirt with a labeled picture of a cell. The project requires students to correctly identify at least 13 organelles and describe their functions. It will be graded based on following directions, accuracy, organization, and creativity.

CELL PROJECT

The cell is vitally important to all living things. Please complete ONE of the
following projects to reinforce our study of cell structure and function. Be prepared
to describe your work to the class on the day the project is due.

OPTION ONE: Cell Analogies Collage

Webster defines analogy: A comparison between two things which are


similar in some respects, but otherwise are different; an explaining of something by
comparing it point by point with something else.
For this project, you will need: poster paper; text with illustration of cell
structures to refer to; scissors; paste; drawing pencils or pens; magazines and/or
newspaper ad sections.
Step 1: Draw a plant or animal cell in pencil in the center of the poster board.
Include the following structures (if you are drawing a plant cell, only include
structures that are found in plant cells; if you are drawing an animal cell, only
include structures that are found in animal cells):

cell membrane cell wall cytoplasm


chromatin/chromosomes cytoskeleton cilia
mitochondrion ribosome chromoplast
smooth endoplasmic reticulum centriole lysosome
rough endoplasmic reticulum perioxisome leucoplast
chloroplast nucleus nucleolus
flagellum Golgi apparatus vacuole

Step 2: Correctly identify your cell as a plant cell or an animal cell.


Step 3: Find out the function (or main job) each structure has in the cell.
(Read your book, use the internet, or use class notes.)
Step 4: Find a magazine or newspaper picture of an everyday object that
has a similar function (or use) as each cell structure (you may also draw the
everyday object if you cant find a picture). Write an analogy to show the similarity
between the cell part and the everyday object. Be sure to explain the reasoning
behind your analogies. (For example: The Golgi apparatus is like a post office
because it modifies, sorts and packages protein for delivery like a post office
packages and sorts mail for delivery.)
Step 5: Paste the pictures of everyday objects at the edges of the poster
board. Label the pictures with your neatly written analogies and make a pointer to
the correct structure in your cell drawing.
Step 6: Be certain that there are at least 13 analogies.

OTHER OPTIONS ARE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS PAPER


OPTION TWO: 3-D Model of a Plant or Animal Cell

Make a three dimensional model of a plant or animal cell. Identify the type of
cell (plant or animal). Include all the appropriate organelles listed in Option 1 that
are appropriate for your type of cell. Use whatever materials you like (Styrofoam,
wood, clay, etc.) Be creative!!! The cell must be at least 20 centimeters wide and
long. Again, it must contain the appropriate organelles (at least 13) and the
organelles should be identified with their functions listed; either directly on
the model or typed on a separate piece of paper. (See your class notes, the
internet, or the textbook for information on organelles.)

OPTION THREE: Design and Create a T-Shirt With a Picture of the Cell.

Design and create a T-shirt with a picture of a cell on it. Identify the type of
cell (plant or animal). Include the appropriate organelles (at least 13) as listed in
Option 1 and label each directly on the shirt with the functions listed either on
the front or back of the shirt. Use fabric paints, puff paints, scraps of fabric,
beads, ribbon, or anything else you would like. You may not find a picture of the cell
on the internet and use iron-on paper to attach it to a t-shirt; it must be designed by
you! Be creative! (See your class notes, the internet, or the textbook for information
on organelles.)
