CELL PROJECT
Make a comic strip (in color) about an organelle or cell process. Must have at least 6 frames. It
must give information about type of cell it's found in and its function/what it does. It must tell a
story.
Write and perform a rap or song that explains the structure and functions of either plant or animal
cells or a cell process. It must inform the audience about the cell type and organelles found in that
cell or cell process and what it does and why it is important for the life of the cell.
Make 3-D models of a Plant or Animal Cell with labels or key identifying organelles.
Create a 30 second – 1-minute video ad campaign for one of the organelles. Assume you are
selling it to aliens visiting earth. What good will it do them? Why do they need it? Why is it the best
organelle to have? (Got milk? Yo quiero Taco Bell. Do the Dew. Drop the chalupa.)
Make a PowerPoint presentation making analogies of organelles to other everyday objects or
things (such as the nucleus is like a brain because ….) using pictures off the internet. The
analogies should all be related (e.g. all household items, all related to a business.) Be creative.
