CLASS COPY- DO NOT KEEP
Yeeeeeeea Haaaaaw! Grab yer hat and saddle the broncs! It's time to head down the Organelle Trail on a little
Wild West adventure! You've just been made a U.S. Marshall! And, you got some wrangling to do!
Now that you are a U.S. Marshall, your job is to gather all of the information you can about a WANTED
organelle. At the end of this, you will need to whip up a WANTED poster in the form of a PowerPoint slide to
show to the other US Marshalls in your camp. Think America’s Most Wanted – Wild West Style!
Everyone will then be on the look out for your WANTED organelle too!
Part 1: First Duties
1. Get your partner (Most of you will be working with a partner because it is much safer for
law enforcement to work in pairs!)
2. Get your assigned organelle (This will be provided in your briefing - during class!)
Part 2: Gather Your Facts
To complete your PowerPoint slide (and find your suspect!), you will need to gather facts using your assigned reading.
You will need to know the following:
1. CRIME: What has this organelle done?
 Why is this organelle "wanted"? In other words, what does it do for the cell? Or, what is the organelle’s
function?
2. PICTURE: What does the organelle look like?
 Provide a picture.
3. LOCATION: Where should we look for the organelle?
 Which of the following types of cells is this organelle found in? Is the organelle found in animal cells,
plant cells, or both?
Part 3: The Roundup
Share the information you have discovered by completing a “WANTED” poster for your organelle in
the form of a PowerPoint slide:
1. Log in to your computer, then go to “My Computer”. (Click Start, then “My Computer”.)
2. Click “Hand-Out (P:)” [Under network drives]
3. Click “Holt” Folder.
4. Click “WANTED POSTER TEMPLATE” to open it.
5. Right click Slide 1, on the left side of the screen, (See Picture below), and click Copy.
6. Go to File, then click New… (blank presentation).
7. Right click on the blank slide 1 (to the left), and click Paste.
8. Right click slide 1 (blank slide) again, then click Delete.
9. Save this document to your student account, by clicking File, then Save as. Please save this document as: “WANTED
POSTER- (YOUR ORGANELLE NAME)”. For example, if I was given the nucleus: WANTED POSTER- NUCLEUS.
10. Complete your slide. The slide should include:
* The name and a mug shot (picture) of your organelle
* Function of Organelle
* Location in Types of Cells (Animals, Plants, Both)
- Note: Assume that an organelle is found in both plants and
animals, unless otherwise stated in the reading.
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE- DO NOT FORGET TO PUT YOUR
NAMES IN THE “CREATED BY:” TEXT BOX!!!
Note: To type on the slide- Click Insert, then Text Box.

Describe the appearance of the organelle. Then, circle the
website on the previous page that you could use to copy,
print, or sketch from to complete the organelle appearance.
The function (job) this organelle does for the cell is:

I think the relationship between structure (the way the organelle looks) and function (the job the organelle does) is…
(Hint: Does the way the organelle look help it do it’s job?)
You will need to follow the “cyber” trails to find information about your wanted organelle. You do not need to visit
each website. However, each website will offer information to help you gather your facts!
1. Life Science Safari - http://vilenski.org/science/safari/index.html
Travel with Safari Sally in search of different types of living things and the organelles/structures that
are inside their cells. Each kingdom is described and the organelles in the cells of each kingdom are
included. The functions of all of the organelles are briefly described here as well.
2. Cell Structures and Functions - http://www.tvdsb.on.ca/westmin/science/sbi3a1/Cells/cells.htm
This website is a great way for students to discover the functions of cells and cell parts. It compares and
contrasts plant and animal cells both visually and descriptively. It is highly interactive.
3. The Encyclopedia Britannica Online - http://www.school.eb.com/all/comptons/article-9273572
This encyclopedia article is designed for middle school students and describes many aspects of the cell.
You are able to click on the various parts of the cell using the menu on the left side of the page. This site
may only be available to you at school.
4. The Cell Page – http://sun.menloschool.org/~cweaver/cells/index.html
This site shows great graphics of the plant and animal cells. Also, you can click on any organelle and get
more detailed color images of the cell parts and descriptions of their functions.
