Download Cell Simile Poster

Cell Simile Poster
Task: Your task is to design a simile between a plant or animal cell, and some other system you are familiar
with. A simile is when you use something that is compared to something else usually using “like” or “as.” An
example would be: A cell is like a school with all of the organelles in the cell working together like the parts
of a school do so that it can run smoothly.
Extra Information:
 You need to not only create a simile for the cell, but also have to have all of the organelles accounted for
OR you can have individual items accounting for each organelle.
 You will choose a plant or animal cell, by using the opposite of what you are doing for your cell project.
 Your poster should have a title that provides a simile statement for the whole cell.
 You will need to have a drawing in color of your cell, and a drawing in color of the place you are
comparing to the cell
 Your poster should be divided up similar to the example below
