Download Project – Cell Tic-Tac-Toe

Project – Cell Tic-Tac-Toe
This project is due on Monday, November 24.
Choose three assignments to complete. The three assignments you choose must make a tic-tac-toe on the
board. Grades will be based on the rubric found on the back of this sheet.
Turn in this sheet as a cover page for your projects. Circle your tic-tac-toe choices.
For each assignment, you must include the following organelles. Make sure you find some way to indicate
in your project whether these organelles are found in animal cells, plant cells, or both.
cell membrane
vacuole
smooth ER
peroxisome
cell wall
mitochondria
rough ER
chloroplast
cytoplasm
ribosome
centriole
nucleus
cytoskeleton
Golgi apparatus
lysosome
nucleolus
Project choices
Make a user manual for someone
purchasing a new cell. Include a
table of contents, pictures, and an
explanation of how each
organelle in the brand new cell
works.
Make a list of body parts that
serve the same function as each
of the organelles. Your list should
be in the format of a chart. The
first column lists the organelle,
the second lists the
corresponding body part, and the
third explains how the two are
similar.
Make a three-dimensional model
of a cell. You may choose to make
your model out of anything you
want except food. Include a
legend or key for your model.
Your model should be no bigger
than a standard textbook.
Create an organelle amusement
park map brochure (3-4 panels).
Include each organelle and its
function in a ride, show,
restaurant, or shopping area.
Make sure to name your
amusement park.
Create a story about the parts of
a cell that a fifth grader could
read. Personify the organelles
and talk about what kind of job
they might have. The stories
should be interesting and
entertaining with illustrations.
Write a blog or journal entry
from the perspective of the
nucleus of a plant cell, explaining
your “coworkers,” the other
organelles, you work with. Write
a response to the entry from an
animal cell’s nucleus, explaining
similarities and differences
between your own coworkers
and the ones the plant cell wrote
about.
Make two collages, one for a
plant cell and one for an animal
cell. Use pictures found in
magazines or online to represent
the organelles found in each cell.
On the back of your collages,
explain your reasoning behind
choosing each picture.
Make a soundtrack for the
organelles in a cell. Choose a song
that describes each organelle
(use recorded songs by popular
artists), give your soundtrack a
name, and create an album
booklet that includes an album
cover design, the lyrics of each
song, and your reasoning behind
choosing each song.
Take photos of things found in
nature that correspond to each
organelle. Mount the pictures
into a scrapbook with a separate
picture on each page, and include
an explanation of why each
picture represents the organelle.
