Period: _________
Assignment: Cell Analogy Project (#12, 100 points)
Date Assigned: _______________
Objective: To build a better understanding of the parts of a plant or animal cell
and their functions.
An analogy is a partial similarity of two or more things that are otherwise essentially
different. You will be drawing a comparison between the parts of a plant or
animal cell and their functions with the parts and functions of something of your
choice (i.e. school, kitchen, computer, airport, robot, garden, sports team,
Simpsons, etc.).
Your project must include the following:
Format: a poster (no larger than 18” x 24”) or three dimensional display of your cell
analogy.
Content:
 Choose either a plant or animal cell for your analogy.
 You will have an overall analogy (ex: a cell is like a restaurant) (the overall
analogy should be in large print at the top of the poster) and analogies for
each of the following cell parts (more parts are optional).
nucleus
mitochondria
vacuole
endoplasmic reticulum
cytoplasm
cell membrane
lysosome
ribosomes
 Each analogy must include the following:
o A picture of the analogous part (drawn or cut out of magazine)
o A label that identifies the analogy, describes its function, and
compares it to a cell part (ex: the owner/manager directs the
restaurant like the nucleus)
 Your name and period should appear clearly on the product.
