Cell Project Matrix
Choose three assignments to complete. You must have one assignment from each column.
Grades will be based on the rubric found on the back of this sheet.
These are your choices of cell parts to use in some of the assignments.
cell membrane
chromatin/chromosomes
mitochondrion
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum
Part 1 due: 11/5/14
Part 2 due: 11/12/14
Research further about one
of the scientists who
contributed to the cell
theory. Write a journal entry
from their point of view and
describe their conclusions
about cells. Include
drawings they might have
made based on their
research.
Research further information
on the 5 scientists described
in our book who contributed
to the cell theory. Write a
fictional story in which the
scientists meet and discuss
their ideas about cells and
their impact on the cell
theory.
Research Lynn Margulis,
1970 (see timeline, p.171).

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 shows the organelle.
The 2nd column shows the
corresponding body part.
The 3rd column explains
how the two are similar.
For example:
Cell Membrane - Skin Keeps things in and out
(include 10 cell parts)
cytoplasm
vacuole
Golgi apparatus
lysosome
nucleus
nucleolus
Part 3: 11/19/14
PLANT OR ANIMAL CELL?
Create a “Who am I?” game
using the parts of plant and
animal cells. Pick 10 parts to
use in your game and write
clues for each part. Provide a
picture or illustration as part
of each clue. Notecards
would work well for this
activity.

similarity between the cell parts Pick a plant and an animal and
