Introduction
 Even your parts have parts
 Your body is made of cells and your cells are made of
organelles
 Each organelle has a specific name and function
within the cell
 A cell needs all of the parts working in order to
maintain homeostasis
Your Task
 Today you will be a scientist looking at all the parts of a
cell.
 You will :
 Look at the size of a cell
 Identify a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell
 Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
 Identify the organelles within a eukaryotic cell
 List the name and functions of the organlles
Process
 Today you will become a scientist looking at
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and the organelles in
them.
 You and a partner will complete several tasks using the
internet to explore cells.
 You will start by looking at the size of cells by clicking
on the picture that compare cell sizes.
Process continued…
 Next you will identify a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell
and their defining characteristics by clicking on the
photo of both cells.
 You will compare and contrast prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells in a venn diagram by clicking on the
pictures of the cells.
 Next in a table you will identify the name and
functions of all the organelles in a prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cell.

Evaluation
 For this project you will be graded in three different
formats:
 You will be graded by your peer. Your partner will grade
you on a 10 point system on a rubric.
 I will be grading you on your work with your peers. This
too will be on a ten point system on a rubric.
 The third way I will be grading you is on your work that
you complete using the information given. This will be
out of 80 points.
Conclusion
 Today you learned the difference between prokaryotic
and eukaryotic cells.
 You also learned the defining characteristics of both
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, as well as their
functions.
 You also learned how to work with and analyze a
partner. Great Job today!
