Cell Project
Due date: December 9th
The student will choose ONE of the five projects to complete. The guidelines for the cell model are listed below. Be sure
to read them carefully and follow them completely. Your complete project is worth 100 points, this is equivalent to a
test grade and will be counted as a test.
A: Cell Bag:
For each organelle, you must include an object that symbolizes the function of each organelle. You must include things
that show a strong relationship and similarity to the organelle. Choose either plant cell OR animal cell.
The bag must include the following:
o Cell wall (if plant cell)
o Mitochondria
o Cell membrane
o Vacuoles
o Nucleus
o Lysosomes (if animal cell)
o Nucleolus
o Chloroplasts (if plant cell)
o Endoplasmic reticulum
o Golgi comples
o Ribosomes
*** you may use up to 2 pictures of items if you cannot find them.
Grading:





Grades will be based on the following:
Is your name on the project?
Is the type of cell identified on the outside of the bag? Is it plant or animal?
Do the objects you have chosen show a correct relationship and similarity to each corresponding cell organelle?
Are all item labeled (10 parts for plant cell, 9 parts for animal)?
Is a chart included that shows an explanation of why each item was selected?
Example of Chart:
Organelle name
Function of organelle
Object chosen
Reason for choosing
object
Nucleus
Brain of the cell
Controls everything
Hard drive
I chose the hard drive
because it is the
center of the
computer and it
controls the
computer. If it breaks
down, so does the
computer
** 10 point deduction for each day project is late.
Project will NOT be accepted after Dec. 11
*************DO NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING OF GREAT VALUE- REMOTES, PLAY STATIONS- THESE WILL BE LEFT

Cell Project
Due date: December 9th
The student will choose ONE of the five projects to complete. The guidelines for the cell model are listed below. Be sure
to read them carefully and follow them completely. Your complete project is worth 100 points, this is equivalent to a
test grade and will be counted as a test.
B. Cell Analogy:
This project is similar to the cell vs. school analogy. You will create an example in which you compare the cell to a
system or organization. You will make a poster and include a key in the form of a chart that explains the relationship of
the cell parts to the structures within the system or organization you have chosen. For example: In the cell vs. school
analogy, the nucleus is compared to the principal. You would draw the school and the main office, pointing to the
principal’s office and would explain why the principal would be considered the nucleus. (He controls the activities of the
school).
Each poster must include the following organelles:
o

Cell wall (if plant cell)
Cell membrane
Nucleus
Nucleolus
Endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes
Mitochondria
Vacuoles
Lysosomes (if animal cell)
Chloroplasts (if plant cell)
Golgi complex
Grading:
Grades will be base on the following questions:
 Is your name on the front of the project?
 Is the type of cell identified? Is this a plant cell or animal cell?
 Are all items labeled (10 parts for plant cell, 9 parts for animal cell) Labels must be typed
 Is the chart included that explains the analogy (relationship) between cell organelle function and the
corresponding part of the system/organization? (why it was chosen)
 Do the analogies you have chosen show a correct relationship between cell organelle function and the
corresponding part of the system/organization?
 Neatness and creativity. Avoid liquid glue, use a glue stick. You may use magazine for pictures and printed
pictures form the internet on your poster
 Example of Chart:
Organelle name
Function of organelle Object chosen
Reason for choosing
object
Nucleus
Brain of the cell
Controls everything
** 10 point deduction for each day project is late.
Project will NOT be accepted after Dec. 11
Principal
I chose the principal
because he is the
center of the school.
He controls the
activities of the
school and gets
important
information sent out.
Cell Project
Due date: December 9th

to read them carefully and follow them completely. Your complete project is worth 100 points, this is equivalent to a
test grade and will be counted as a test.
C. Cell Catalog:
You will create a catalog for ordering cell parts for both a plant AND animal cell.
Grading will be based on the following:
Your catalog must be word processed, include a color picture of each organelle and a description (name, and function)
of each organelle. Your catalog should include:
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
Cover
Index
Production section/price list
Order form
Full color of a plant cell and an animal cell showing the different available parts for ordering
Catalog must be bound
Must include each of the following cell parts:
Cell wall (if plant cell)
mitochonria
Cell membrane
vacuoles
Nucleus
lysosomes (If animal cell)
Endoplasmic reticulum
chloroplasts (if plant cell)
smooth
golgi
rough
Ribosomes
You will be graded based upon the following questions:







Is the project word processed?
Is there a color picture of each organelle?
Is there a description of each organelle (name and function)?
Does it include all of the parts of the catalog listed above?
Is it bound?
Is it neat and orderly? (avoid liquid glue, glue sticks or photo sticks)
Did you show creativity?

Song can include: Prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic, plant cell vs. animal cell, cell theory, and other concepts from Ch. 2
(the more the better!)
Written copy of the lyrics to your song
Your music video must be saved on an acceptable source (jump drive or DVD)
10 pts. extra if the words appear n the screen as they are sung/heard

E. Cell Model:
You will create a model – either animal OR plant cell
The model will be a cross section of the cell
Plant cell needs to be constructed out of a cube of Styrofoam (or similar object) or a 3D foam board- not poster board.
An animal cell needs to be built from half a Styrofoam ball (or similar object) or a 3D foam board- not poster board
A key MUST accompany the project. The key must contain the correct name of the organelle and describes the
organelle’s unique function within the cell. The key must be attached to the project!!
Each structure must be numbered and each number must correctly correspond to the number on the key.
The key must be typed.
Suggestions for needed materials:
Styrofoam ball or cube
Beads and bottle caps
Aluminum foil
Pipe cleaners or yarn
Clay or play dough
Bubble packaging wrap
Styrofoam peanuts
Plastic wrap
Sequins and ribbons
Cotton balls or pom-poms
Colored paper
Felt pieces , foam pieces
NO PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS!!!! I will allow dried beans and dry, hard pasta shapes
