Download CELL ORGANELLE ANALOGY PROJECT RUBERIC

CELL ORGANELLE ANALOGY PROJECT
Using the diagrams on pages174-181 of your textbook, you will create a postersized drawing of an animal or plant cell and label its organelles (see details below).
Next to each label (organelle) you will provide a picture and your analogy to the
cell part. You must explain how your analogy relates to the organelle’s function.
Be creative! Example: a closet is like a vacuole because both vacuoles and closets
store materials. You are required to complete this project independently.
The 15 required cell parts are:
vacuole
nuclear envelope
cytoskeleton
ribosomes
(ER) endoplasmic reticulum
For Animal cells only:
For Plant cells only:
plasma membrane
chromatin (DNA)
Golgi apparatus
cytoplasm
nucleus
mitochondria
lysosome
nucleolus
Cilia OR Flagella, AND centrioles
Chloroplasts and Cell Wall

Cell is hand-drawn and colored on poster board. The drawing
itself should be no less than 12in. by 12in. (25 points)
Title that describes the type of cell and the analogy comparison (5
points)
Colorful (10 points)
Neatness (10 points)
All 15 cell parts are labeled correctly and analogy is clear and
concise (45 points)
Lines extend from each cell part. At the end of the arrow, the part is
labeled and the analogy picture & description are all present (in the same
place) (5 points)
Grading of the above will be based on the fact that:



All 15 cell parts have analogy pictures from magazines or from the
computer that are representative of the organelle function.
Analogies are in complete sentences, well-written and creative.
All analogies relate to the FUNCTION of the cell part
Total points possible for this project: 100 POINTS! Due
at the beginning of class Tuesday, November 29, 2011.
