Honors Cell Simile Project
Analogy Goal:
I can compare cells and their organelles to something else in the world.
Standard:
7.3.1 - Explain that all living organisms are composed of one cell or multiple cells and that the many
fuctions needed to sustain life are carried out within cells.
7.3.4 – Compare and contrast similarities and differences among specialized sub cellular components
within plant and animal cells(including organelles).
Simile: A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things through some connective
word, usually being "like" or "as" or a verb such as "resembles." Similes can be very creative as long as
your reasoning is clear.
Project Guidelines:
1. You may work alone or with ONE partner from your class period (no groups of three!)
2. Due Date: Thursday, Sept. 15th!
Projects turned in after this date and time will be graded as LATE WORK.
3. Presentation format will be: Google Presentation
Requirements:
Requirements:
1. Choose an animal or plant cell for your project.
2. Include one overall simile (Slide 1) and one organelle simile for each part of the cell (1 slide for each).
3. You must use the Cell Simile Project Organizer to develop your project.
There are separate organizers for plant and animal cells.
4. You may not use the examples below: Cell as a City
Examples:
Overall cell simile: An animal cell is like a city because the cell has many organelles that keep it working and the city has
many divisions that keep it running.
Organelle simile: The mitochondria is like power plant because they both provide energy.
Progress Steps:
check
Check off your steps as you go!
Decide if you are working alone or with a partner from your class period.
Decide if you will be using a plant cell or an animal cell for your simile- they have different organelles!
Choose your simile: A plant/ animal cell is like a ________________________ because _________________________________.
Complete the project organizer.
Begin creating your project on Google Drive with the correct number of slides.
Revise your work! Make sure everything is neat, grammatically correct, and colorful! Use spell check! You must have 2 pictures per slide. One
picture of the cell part and one picture of what you’re comparing it to. You must have at least one complete sentence describing your simile per
slide that includes your reasoning.
