Optional Inquiry:
for those pursuing Interest and excellence!!
Cell Biology is an exploding field with many job opportunities. Cell Biologists battle cancer, create
Clones of animals and plants, maintain frozen embryos of endangered species, teach bacteria to make
medicines for human use, and many other exciting things.
If you are interested in cells or any topic related to cells...Go For it! Learn all you can and get extra credit
for your enthusiasm and interest. Here are just a few ideas to get you started thinking about what you
might do
Investigate / explore cells further using microscopes in the morning before school.
Report on current research involving cell-biology
Report on cancer, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, or other disease involving cells.
The brain is made of cells... how does the brain work??
Make a poster of newspaper stories involving cell biology.
Create a model of a cell
Learn about a famous scientist who worked with cells (Pasteur, Hooke, etc....)
*** YOUR IDEAS??!! (They are the best) Talk to Mr. Mork about ideas you want to
explore with cells.
