watch “Journey into a Cell”
Part B: Go to http://www.classtools.net/fb/home/page/ and create a fakebook page on one of the following scientists
who contributed to the cell theory: Robert Hooke; Anton van Leeuwenhoek; Matthias Schleiden; Theodor Schwann;
Rudolph Virchow. You must include a picture, profile (birthday, birth place, education, awards, marital status, etc.),
friends (at least 4) and few posts (at least 4). Make sure you save your fakebook page even if you are not done. Once
you have saved it and interred a password: Write (legibly) the link to your fakebook page and your password.
When completely done, print off the fakebook page and staple to the back of the project.

Part D: Build You Own Cell Model
Using image editing software (Microsoft Paint, Photoshop, etc.) create your own color diagram of the cell. Use the
following guidelines. Print out your model and staple to the back of this project.
There are also several online image editors:
Pixlr: http://pixlr.com/editor/
Drawing for children: http://drawing.gamemaker.nl/
Kerpoof: http://www.kerpoof.com/#/activity/draw
Chogger: http://chogger.com/create
Sumopaint: http://www.sumopaint.com/app/
Fundraw: http://www.fundraw.com/
Psyko paint: http://www.psykopaint.com/
Guidelines:



Identify whether your cell is a plant or an animal (no bacteria)
All relevant cell organelles and parts must be represented and labeled
You may NOT cut/paste other models you might find on the web, but you’re welcome to use them for ideas
